When Someday Becomes Never

For some, it was just another headline.
For me, it was a soul-shaking reminder of how fleeting and unpredictable life truly is.
Four lives. Four stories.
Each one a mirror—reflecting something profound about time, purpose, and the fragile beauty of every passing moment.
First:
A family who had spent years dreaming of a new life in the UK.
Delays. Responsibilities. Life always getting in the way.
They finally boarded that flight… but never arrived.
And I understood—
We all have plans for “someday.”
But the truth is, if we keep waiting, someday can slip silently into never.
Second:
A woman who was meant to be on that flight.
She arrived late. Missed check-in. Pleaded to be let on.
She was angry, heartbroken—until she learned the plane had crashed.
That delay? It was protection in disguise.
Because sometimes, we don’t get what we want…
Not because we’re unlucky, but because God sees what we can’t.
His “no” may be the very thing that saves us.
Third:
A man who survived.
The aircraft split. He happened to be in the section that didn’t catch fire.
He walked away—shaken but alive—from a tragedy few lived to tell.
It wasn’t just luck. It was purpose.
And I was reminded of these wordssimply
Fourth:
Those who didn’t make it.
People with families, dreams, and stories still unfolding.
They said goodbye that morning, never knowing it would be their last.
Their lives echo a sobering truth:
Time is not guaranteed.
We’re not promised old age.
We’re not promised “later.”
All we truly have is now—this breath, this heartbeat, this fleeting chance.
So while you still can—
While you’re breathing, loving, living—don’t waste it waiting.
Love now. Apologize now. Forgive now. Dream now. Speak now.
Because life doesn’t always give second chances.

And sometimes… “next time” never comes.
