A lecturer told me some time ago that when we suddenly remember someone, it's good to pay him/her a visit. Around 2-3 months ago, I suddenly remembered a close friend's grandpa who has been close to me for some years. Though I wasn't his real grandchild, he treated me like one.
I thought it was only a normal feeling, as I hadn't seen him for almost a year. But I let it be and moved on with my life. A feeling crossed my heart a few times telling that I should pay him a visit, but my tight schedule had been preventing me to move around much. So the feeling went by just like that.
Last week I received a text message, sent by my friend. I was sleeping that night. I woke up at a sudden and straight away checked my phone. It turned out to be a message saying that his grandpa had passed away. Without a longer moment, I felt tears streaming down my face, realising that I had lost someone that I longed to see. Too bad, too late. I should listen to my heart that time when it told me to pay him a visit.
I swear that the very next time, when such feeling emerges, I will listen to it. So I won't regret again. May he rests in peace, and may God bless his soul and put him among the most pious souls.
