Reason why was not saying goodbye coz I was hoping that both of them still managed to survive some how. I know that is naive, but hearing this now is just devastating. i know it's too late to say goodbye but still farewell. I know he wasn't able to live his football dream. but I will pray to God to give his another chance to live his football dream completely in another life. Farewell sala hope you find peace in your Afterlife.

James 1:13; When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. " Read the bible and study it. Don't let people who think the opposite of what the bible REALLY says influence you wrong about God. God Loves us all. He sent Jesus to die for us. Ecclesiastes 9:11 "I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all." Tragedy can happend to anyone. 1 John 4: 19 "We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." Tells us we live in a world govern by Satan and we are imperfect. Until this system ends, we will have a prefect life that Jehovah God promises us all if we follow what we are asked of him to do. People who die in tragedy like this will be resurrected and have the chance to do what God askes us to do.Which consist of following his norms. People who commit suicide will not be resurrected! Jehovah values everyone's life very much. 1 John 4: 8 Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because GOD IS LOVE. " Meditation is key.
