Life is too fragile. In yesterday's Home section of Straits Times, splashed on the first page was an article on a 16-year old boy who was found dead in his bed when his family gave him a birthday surprise in the morning.
His mother's my violin teacher. The anguish and shock the family experienced can never be comprehended. It was a really tragic death. Sigh. I even remembered once she asked me and Mildred to find a geography 10-yr series for him in Popular and now.. he's passed away. Although he's not directly related to me, its still really heartbreaking to hear this news. Really pray that her family will recover soon.. although its gonna take some time.
Anyway this song by Christina Aguilera really touching. Its about her relationship with her father.
Seems like it was yesterday
When I saw your face
You told me how proud you were,
But I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broken inside
But I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide
'Cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this, ooh
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
