Taken for Granted

I realized that I've taken many things for granted. Friends, family, safety.

Around 8 hours ago, it has become known that Air Asia with flight number QZ8501 has lost contact with the land authorities. And since then, nothing has been heard from them.

The thing is that plane carries my friend and family. Almost the whole family. Hearing that, I felt very regretful. I felt that I have taken his presence for granted. I have taken the fact that I have flown back and forth from Singapore and Surabaya safely for granted.

I just hope that they are all safe. I just hope that every single one of them can be found alive. His sister is still waiting for them with no certainty. So I hope they can come back for her safely. And I promise I won't take his presence for granted anymore. He's a precious friend and I don't want to lose him.
