新的一年又來臨。在祝賀 Facebook 的朋友們的過程後，收到一個死亡訊息。
在 Facebook 偶爾說說"嗨!"的一位舊同學，問我是否知道以前同班的 Jo 已在幾個月前過世了?
我的呼吸暫停了一下。
從昨晚開始，我一直在寄"新年快樂!"的祝賀給大家。
得到的是快樂、blessed、prosper、toast、celebration 等的回覆。
收到了死亡訊息，感覺我們不應該停在開心、快樂。
人生是憔悴的。
我們應該感恩。
Spent the last 2 hours of the old year sending New Year greetings to friends in Facebook.
Of all the "same to you", "happy new year to you too", "here's a toast", "let's celebrate", "blessed new year" replies, "has any1 told you that Jo passed away a few months back?" was the only reply that caught hold of my breath. Jo was my classmate back in school days.
There I was, drinking in all the happiness & prosperity of the new year.
Not once have I thought about the fragility of life.
Time to sober up and be thankful for the every moment of of life.
