PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY 😢✍️

 

Each time a loved one,

Leaves us Forever;

It's another reminder,

To hold on, Never.

For no one really stays,

The Journey ends, One Day;

This Life, just a stop-over,

Soon onward, on our way.

When, Where and How,

Only Heaven knows;

Young or old, early or late,

Someday, everyone goes.😢✍️

(Last year, on the 20th of January '2024, an old friend, who had just turned 50, disappeared from our lives Forever...Six days later, very sadly, his mum passed away too.😔

It was an extremely difficult time for their Family, to lose two loved ones in just six days. But that week, left all of us friends, feeling 'Completely Lost' too.💔 

We didn't meet and talk often, because I hadn't been singing with the Choir, for quite a long while; but we'd been friends for many, many years. Connected by our Choir, we had shared numerous happy times and memories - Choir picnics, get-togethers, sing-song sessions around the piano and lots and lots of delicious home-baked cakes.

A few weeks before he passed away, we had all just happened to meet, after a long, long time, at a Christmas Street Festival, when the singing duo Reena and Lindsay, sang in the Colony. 

The picture we took, at that event, is one that I will always cherish.💖 I'm so glad I took that photograph that day. Sometimes, we never know, when it may be the last time, that we may meet and talk to someone, or 'Smile for a picture, Together'.)😢
