Sister Death

Death.

First day of this month, my aunt died.  I visited the wake of the father of my workmate 2 days later.  A neighbor died yesterday.  A couple of requests for prayers appeared on Facebook for deceased relatives.

These days, I noticed Sister Death making her presence felt.  Should I be afraid?  Only if she meant the end.  Should I be dismissive?  Only if she meant nothing.

What then should I be?  It really depends on how I see her.  And I pray I see her, always, through my Maker's eyes, in Him who has given me life.
