I went to the funeral of a family friend today. It was well attended, we're talking standing-room only. She was the publisher of the only bilingual Asian American/Chinese newspaper in Arizona so all the key players in the Phoenix Chinese/Chinese American community were there.
She died unexpectedly--in a car accident. Certainly, everyone is devastated, especially her husband and her two adult children.
Of course sitting there in one of the pews at her funeral made me think as cliche as it sounds: life is short. Live. Live as much as you can. Sometimes things work out and sometimes things just don't. It's hard to accept the fact that some things don't work out. Jobs, relationships, opportunities, sometimes they just don't. I keep telling myself that there are things that do work out eventually.
