A weird incident

Life is really a very fragile thing. You can never know how long it can be...and how short it can last.. A few days ago, i jus had a distant relative.. (my mum's cousin.. dunno how to address him) died.. apparently, he died of heart attack.. it seems very sudden.. and the fact that no one knows he has heart disease is already shocking enuff.. but the fact that the events that accompanies with his death is just too weird...
That night, my this distant relative complains to his wife that he had a stomach-ache.. and ever since he stepped into the toilet, he did not come out straight... Haiz.. his wife heard an unusual snore and realised that her husband had been in the toilet for quite some time. When she forced open the toilet, she found that he is already dead.
I am wondering.. does he feels any pain when he died? Somehow, i dun think so.. Maybe becos of old age... and certain hidden illness that leads to this.. but i guess.. to die in such a way is a blessing at the same time.. no pain.. no worries.. but jus.. griefs and more griefs... i can imagine how sad his wife and childrens will be... cos there is simply no signs of his death... the fact that he is leaving them is so sudden and theres no time for mental preparation... And how many of us can actually expect one to move on to heaven in such a subtle way...
From then on, when my uncle stay in the toilet for long, my auntie will start to ask my uncle if he is alright in the toilet.. maybe its time for us to cherish the people around us more.. so that we will not leave any regrets...
