Dedicated to ever smiling dear friend - Randy

I am not the type of person who would broadcast my feelings on a social platform. However, sometimes it is important to let it out as a catharsis for one's emotions. While, I still refuse to post it on social media and gather sympathies, I decided to write this post to pen down my thoughts and feeling.

This morning, I heard that a dear friend and comrade in faith - Randy Yamamoto - passed away due to heart attack. While I switch between denial and facing the reality my heart goes out to the family I knew so closely. I so wish I was there physically for them. Or pick up the phone and talk to them, to ensure they are okay. Will they be?

As I try face the reality, I am bewildered by the unfairness and unpredictability of life. Randy was a wonderful person, with always a smile on his face. He inspired me in many ways than one. His wife , kids - them as a family unit were an inspiration for me.

While this harsh reality is in my face, overwhelmed with emotion, as I question why, I wish I could explain to everyone the how short life is for ego, greed, jealous, and war.


.... there is no conclusion I could give to this post.

In mourning..
