Life is life.

Pain demoralises you, it incapacitates, it can make you ineffectual, it can dehumanise you. Many people, even family members may think you are exaggerating, that it can't be that bad. You know that's what they are thinking! There's no pain like a big pain huh?

Maybe only those who have suffered pain can really empathise. So what do you do. You can curse God or fate with a " Why me???" and sit around doing nothing but feeling that pain or you can sit up and realise something. Life with pain is still life.

My cousin passed away two days ago. She was just too young. She left behind her very young son, her grieving husband, mother, brothers, sisters in law and so many others. She was such a nice person in the real sense of that word. I never saw her without a smile that reached the depths of those beautiful eyes of hers. Would she have chosen to have lived but with pain? I am rather sure she would have.

Rest in Peace our sweet Kireen.
