No. This is not about the song you might have heard before. But nonetheless, it found its inspiration in its music.
The thought that tomorrow may never come makes me shiver both with faith and hope, and uncertainty. With faith that the promised life after death will bring me to a new dimension beyond the realms of human capacity to comprehend. With hope that it will be to the eternal life and bliss in heaven where angels and saints reside with God - the source of all good and love. With uncertainty because death could mean the end of one's short stay and existence in this known universe with the slimmest chance that I could be resurrected again, whether as same human being or as another form of matter other than dust. One thing is almost sure - my body will rot, decay, leave some calcium matter, and be part of the soil. The molecules and particles may disintegrate and transform themselves into other forms of matter or be made into energy.
Perhaps for most people, dying and death is something to be feared. There is a natural fear of the unknown. When one crosses another frontier that he is uncertain of, there is almost an instant hesitation to go on and continue. If I were to end this day, I probably will have mixed feelings - anxiety, anticipation, fear, peace, surrender, love, serenity, joy, sadness, loneliness, anger, frustration, etc. But only God knows when that dreaded fateful day will come. Unless we make incidents ourselves that would cost our life as they happen.
If tomorrow never comes, please be my voice. Tell my children (Kevin Paul, Kamille Marie, Karen Jobelle, Kathleen Joy) I love them so much. Tell my wife, Sue, I love her so and thank her for the much love and support. Tell my family members (Tatang, Nanang, Dante, Arnel, Epie Rey, Mae) I've tried to live the best life I could so that I could also be of help in any way I can. But my best wasn't good enough.
Tell my closest friends they are always in my heart and in my memories because I love them so much, too. May I whisper them to you: Rona, Karen, Jhoan, Joycee, Jellie, Jenissa, Julieanne, Aiana, Jackie, Allen, Marissa, Patricia, Tricia, Michael, Ma. Teresa, Joanne, Ikay, Erika, Pauleen, Mila, Alyanna, Harlene, and all those countless faces and nameless figures who have made a difference in my life. If tomorrow never comes, I hope they will miss me, too.
Tell those others whom I failed to mention that their memories would be brought with me as I continue life's journey into the unknown.
To all those whom I have hurt, in one way or another, please accept my sincerest apology. May you be able to forgive me of all my shortcomings with you.
Thank you to all. If tomorrow never comes, let that tomorrow be buried with me so that you would remember only my yesterday with you.
I love you all!
