If One Day I Die Before You

Life is fragile and we never know when we are leaving this world. We have met people who left without having the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones. Some died due to accident, some sudden death, some illness et cetera.

If I ever die before you, please do not come to my wake because,

When I was alive and you were too busy for me,
I do not need you to waste your precious time to attend my wake, it should appear last in your list of priorities;

When I was alive and hoping to receive surprises from you but you were never thoughtful,
you need not be thoughtful to arrange to send funeral flowers to me as I would not be able to feel the surprise, nor am I able to smell or touch the flowers, so I would not be able to appreciate your thoughtfulness;

When I was alive and shared with you my wants and need but you never had the time to get those for me,
you may save your money for your own needs and wants as I believe my insurance would be able to take care of my funeral expenses;

When I was hoping to see you and to listen to your voice when I was alive but you never realised that, you are not obliged to feel that I was someone you once knew, closely...

Please do not feel guilty if you happen to read this and the message hit you hard, because when I was alive, you hardly felt bad about how you have treated me...

However, if you did appear at my wake, I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you finally could make (some) time for me....thank you~

Thank you for appearing in my life and turned it into wonderful and beautiful memories in the short span of time we knew each other. I wish you well...
