Between Life & Death

I remember someone ever ask me this question. "What is the different between life & death?" Answer = Breathing
It is very true. Once your body stop breathing, you are gone. This is life.
My elder aunty passed away last month. As it was very sudden, most of us can't take it. My father is very sad. After she is gone, we came to realised that through out all these years, we only contact her during the CNY & QingMing. We used to be closed with our cousin and her when we are younger. When we get older and everyone (aunt, uncle & us) are busy with their family & work, other then special occation, we do not meet up.
While thinking that we will meet again during next CNY, it is a big shock that she is unable to meet us anymore.
The week after her funeral my dad suggest to visit my cousin and uncle to check out how their doing. It turn out to be a small gathering of mahjong and cards game. My cousin are very happy that day as they have been playing cards game for the whole week to spent time with their father. With my parents and us joining in the games we spent a very enjoyable time together since her death.
After that we made a date to meet up the next week at our house. This time round we jeo all the uncle and auntie to join in the gathering. We have rounds of cards & mahjong. For the young one we have board games, PSP, X-box, PS3...etc Everyone really enjoy this gathering.
Seems like my 2 younger auntie really love the gathering and she is suggesting to have a Christmas eve gathering. So we are now in the process to organise the gathering.
I have come to realise that although everyone need to work, need times for themself, need times to do whatever.....however, no matter how busy you are, we still need to set aside some times to spent we our love one.
