Rest in peace

I just learned of a death of an acquaintance through facebook. I only met him in one of the wedding shoots where he was one of the bride's closest friend. Even though I hardly know him, his image stays clear in my mind for he is one of the warm and friendly personality. So when I found out about his sudden death due to illness and when I read all the messages that his friends put out in facebook, it touches me. When you can put a name to a face and when the person, eventhough he is not close to you, dies, it does still somehow have that profound effect.

Now I see facebook as not only a platform of socialising but it is indeed a platform for consolation and sharing of despair, thoughts and emotions. With the many words of encouragement and love from his friends when he was hospitalised till the day that he passes, it shows how much people cares. It is known that he is not alone and that he has a lot of friends who cares. Rest in peace dear acquaintance.
