Memories of a dear friend

Was just mindlessly surfing on facebook and came across a friend being tagged in his friend's post. Or should I say, a late friend - someone who has already gone from this world. And so I was surprised to see that people still tag him, or post on his page.

And I decided to take a quick look at his fb page, and realised that his family members and loved ones still regularly post on his wall, tag him in photos and even videos.

And I noticed his profile pic on facebook - that classic smile. The smile that was on his face even when he could not move on his own and was confined to his own room. The smile that was on his face when I visited him and he said he decided to make use of his time by reading books and self-study. The smile which he had since I knew him in Secondary school.

Rest in peace, Melvin. It was great having you as a friend sitting in the same row for 2 years in secondary school. For the geeky maths talk we had. And it was an honour knowing you - a warrior who never gave up in the fight for health, in the face of circumstances which most people would have given up way earlier before you.

And, thank you, for reminding me today that there's always things that we can choose to do with our lives, no matter what the circumstances.
