Today is the day to remember someone who passed away 2 years ago this very day... he was a close family friend of mine who was like a brother to me and all of my sisters and loved like a son by my parents. We had known him for 4 years and now our dear Christian is gone. I remember the day his mother called us to let us know of his passing... the shock that came all over my body... the broken heart that I began to carry... and the tears I shed. As months were passing I felt sad, confused and blameful toward our God. I did blame Him for Christian's death and I asked why he had to die.
But later on, a feeling of love and joy came to my heart and my soul. I realized that when our loved ones die, they are not gone forever; they are in the arms of our Heavenly Father and will never die. Their bodies may be dead and buried in the soil but their spirits live for eternity and never age nor die. And they are free from the destruction in this world. I also realized that Jesus Christ died for us so that we can live again. If it wasn't for Him we wouldn't have resurrection in the next life and be saved from sin and spiritual death. And we would be with our loved ones in the next life after we die in the mortal life. I know that I will be with my loved ones, including Christian after my human life and we will all remain together forever with our Father and Savior.

The Month of Love
It is now February, the month of Love. That means I may have to send Valentine's Day cards to those I love and care about. It is a great month for us to send notes, emails, cards or messages to our friends and families. It is true that Love is the most powerful thing that we need in life because it makes us STRONGER and helps us grow closer to God and His Son and the people that are around us. Love is something to have in this world while we are living and facing the challenges of life. That must be something special about Valentine's Day. Even when it's not February anymore we do send messages through notes, songs, poems, letters and cards.
