The barker was calling passengers shouting, last trip, last trip. Funny, I came from the wake of a previous co-worker today. He had his last trip yesterday. He had his last stay here on earth. Yes, he died in his sleep. From the office, I, together with my other officemates paid our last respect to him. I have not seen him for a long time. He looked very different in that picture displayed on top of his last bed. Seven years was that long, indeed.
There was a short prayer meeting since he belonged to a Christian family. There was one verse that was mentioned and that is about reminding us that we would all die thus it is better to attend a wake than to attend a party.
After the prayer meeting, there was the chicka portion between old friends. It was a good opportunity to keep in touch with what is going on with each other’s lives. We realized that we are getting old and yes, one time, there would come a time that we would ride our last trip here on earth.
