So recently, a tragedy befell Malaysian land. (Other than
the increase of prices.) If you were nowhere near any source of information
during the past two weeks, possibly due to a temporary allergy, let me catch
you up to speed; a female Ambank officer was coldheartedly shot in the face bya security guard in his attempt to steal the money in the safe. Don’t be ashamed if you
just found out through me; be glad that you didn’t find it out my way – Staring
at the explicitly gory picture of the deceased as it popped up in a WhatsApp
chat.
The picture found its way into my phone, not once, not twice, but THRICE. It’s as if people knew I deleted the horrid stuff from my phone and thought, ‘Hey, let’s send him a pic.’ Why people rush in sharing such a picture is beyond me. It’s just disrespectful for the deceased and her family.
Anyways, that picture isn’t the reason why I wrote this post (I ain't here to spread gore). It’s this picture:

For those of you who still hasn’t figured it out yet, that’s
the unfortunate woman’s husband. What really struck me was this:
'I should have told her I loved her there and then. Now it's too late.'
You can really feel his regret, caused by a decision that will haunt him for years to come. His words really hit home. And I cried as I stared at this photo. It made me realise my own lack of contact with my parents. It made me think about the times where I was too caught up in college activities to call them once in a while.
Let this be a reminder that we don't live forever, and neither do your loved ones. Don't take them for granted. Don't ever think they'll always be there when you need them. Remember to always show them your love toward them, before it's too late.
And a reminder to all; I beg you, please don't forward the horrific pictures and videos of the incident to others. It's already too much for the family of the deceased to handle her death. The last thing they need is a constant reminder of how she left this world. If you still have the urge to share something, share the picture above, and remind them to tell their loved ones how much they love them.

Al-Fatihah. May her soul be placed among the pious.
