All soul's day is a time for when all Christians reflect on death and dying.And remember those who have gone to the Great Beyond.a brother,sister,parent or a love one.In the philippines all soul's day is celebrated with so much likely and fanfare.People going to cemetery bringing some foods,candles and drinks.Its like pista ng mga Patay.Only the dead are not around to celebrate it.Its the living who prepare some foods and drink to much while listening the very l0ud audio and stereo.In this set-up it seems all soul's day was lost.
Of course,the day to remind us that we are mortals.that are our home is not here on earth but in heaven.That t our lives are not our own:that we are just being loaned our life.,sooner or later We'll return to our Heavenly Father by way of Death and dying death after all,is but a manifestation of our love of GoD. Death comes like a thief in the night well never know when our time is up.Accidents may happen some die young,some die peacefully some die in a brutal way.Whatever matter death is one reality of life we must learn to accept.
But what dying really like??
I witnessed the death on my uncle a couple of years ago.He was my favorite Uncle because he is generous and caring.We had a lot of conversation about anything is under the sun.We had some fun and enjoyed each other until he was stricken with cancer of his lungs.His last days was gentle and serene and was resigned to her fate. I was on her side when He lay dying.The actual moment of death is almost drifted away He closed his eyes ta the moment of death thete is a sign He died peacefully in GODS own good time
