Life is short - this is a phrase often heard but not felt often.

Saturday I went to pick my 黑人from the airport. As he got out of immigration, he called to ask if I wanted anything from DFS and mentioned that his former colleague "Major Lotus"got into an accident earlier and died. I couldn't believe my ears. Major Lotus was only in his 30s, have a wife and a young son. How can he die?

黑人look slightly shaken and distraught when he walked out of the arrival gates. His phone was beeping off the hook and he was talking to other friends, trying to get more information. But bless my 黑人's heart for he kept his spirits up and had nice late dinner with me before heading home.

Now, Ive met Major Lotus a few times and liked the man. Besides from 黑人's closer friends like Songtong and Rududy, Major Lotus was another whom I thought made the effort to get to know me. He was funny and friendly and had no airs even though he was ranked more superior than 黑人.

Noone deserves to die so young. Not when your whole life is ahead of you. Not when you have a son whose life you should see through, at least til he graduates and get married. Noone deserves to die so young.

So to Major Lotus. May you rest in peace and go to a place where luxury cars is at your disposal.
