Day 455 { Sad Day At Work/New Shinkansen }
Sad Day At Work
I heard today that the former vice principal at this school, died yesterday. I had to work with her for maybe 7 months before she took leave....
I remembered some time ago in last year, I noticed that she wasn't coming to work anymore. So I queried it at my main school, to which they started fidgeting then told me to ask the persons at the school where she worked.....So I remembered asking the English coordinator at that time for that school, and she too started looking uncomfortable...So then and there I knew something was up but they didn't want to tell me.... She eventually said that it was personal and said that the Vice Principal at the time, cried profusely when she was about to resign her duties...
Now today when I learnt of her death, I finally heard that she had the dreaded cancer...
I almost shed some tears, but I somehow always resist this temptation when I am in the public's eye... The other teachers were quite sad... and the Principal was crying really hard in her quarters..... I just really feel sorry for her husband, and kids... Her husband is the principal of the biggest elementary school in my town.....
I could only remember what one of my friends said to me while I was in Jamaica mourning my cousin's death... And she said "Death is so Final".....
Yup, there is nothing you can do when someone is gone.... So just try to love everyone and tell them that you do... Tell people how much you appreciate them... We are all going to go one day.
For me, I am a Christian, and even though I am far from being the best role model of one, I still hold on to what I believe in. And I do believe there is life after death....
Currently, the fastest trains in Japan can run up to 300 kph. But now, they are creating a new style of train that can even go faster....
