Losing someone in the curse of death is really painful. We’ll all die, that is the reality of this life. Death is something inevitable but it’s really a sad moment when we miss our friends&loved ones forever.https://twitter.com/raymondbochum1/status/1619949809955209216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1619949809955209216%7Ctwgr%5Eb8d14c50f0cc6ba262d1ba4ad90529ddd03d051e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmbaretimes.com%2F2023%2F01%2Fvusi-ma-r5-gunned-down%2F
