Silence. Be content.

Well i got home after another long night at uni. The lab this week was annoying and i didnt even have enough time to complete the task, so i only got 35/100.

Then i walked the long tunnel at Central to get home, waited 5 minutes for the train.

It wasn't as packed tonight so thank God i got a seat because i was exhausted.

Then the train got the Wolli Creek and that's when i usually text Dad to let him know i'm 5 minutes away from Rockdale Station so that he can pick me up.

I got of at Rockdale, sat on the bus bench for a good 10 minutes, but i didn't mind tonight since it wasn't a freezing cold night.

10 minutes later. He still didn't turn up.

So i just walked home.

And then i realised that the car wasn't out the front. The front room lights weren't switched on as they usually are. And it looked as if the house was extremely quiet. Just dark and lonely and empty as if no one was home.

Then i realised that something must of gone wrong. And that's when i remembered that the Martin's Grandmas hasn't been feeling well recently and so i assumed she had gone to a better place.

I opened the door, dropped my things on the floor and knocked on Ayana's bedroom door, and she confirmed it.

It's made me realise a lot. All this.

Life is short and so we gotta make the most of it.

I'm going to pray that their grandma is now in another place, somewhere where she can rest in peace. I'm going to pray for Tito Fred and his family. Not only are there other issues they have dealt with recently, now they have to go through this phase in life. And i personally haven't gone through such sad grief, but i know it's not easy. And the girls, they have now loss both their grandparents on that side, so it must be devastating for them.

I just got a phone call while i was writing this. It was from Tita Dona - Birthday Girl! We spoke about all this, and one thing i did get from her, was that's life's too short so you gotta be content. Although she's admitted herself that's she not religious, she tells me to keep doing what i'm doing with my charity work, youth work and to keep serving. Because you are truely reminded of how fortunate you are. You can be rich and have massive houses and whatever, but eventually you will hit a point and realise that you can't buy yourself happiness. You can't buy yourself family and friends who make your life so much richer and happier. It just doesn't work like that.

I don't know when this actually all happened, because Tita was kinda surprised when she found out that i only found out when i got home.

But anyway, it's going to be a quiet night. I think i might say the Rosary. Not turn the tele on tonight, and just do quiet things like maybe catch up on my economics notes.
