sadly missed

I was more than a month away from my computer. Allow me to tell what pain and sadness my family is undergoing.

It was September 29, we were all alarmed upon learning that our father was hospitalized. Upon receiving the news, I right away set my schedule to fly home October 1 to help my younger siblings take care of our father. I was thinking that I need to do my share and return the love to him by being present and strengthen mother’s emotional condition. Two of our younger siblings were very much supportive and at all times were in our father’s side with mother. The rest of us, 7 children away from home, so all we were doing was to check our father’s condition from time to time, which was the first time our dear father was hospitalized. Cardiac arrest – that was the findings, he was breathing so difficulty but after some checked was calmed. He was then put to sleep and all who were with him were all put to relax since everything was fine.

I wasn’t able to had a good night sleep that time, I was crying, I never imagined of seeing my father hospitalized and if possible not to experience pain. It was 6.30 in the morning ht following day, September 30 my sisters knocked on my door made me feel so bad, father died fifteen minutes earlier. He wasn’t able to utter his last words to anybody around him.

I am still emotional every time I think of my father. I imagined his smiling face, his looks, his angry face, his funny looks and everything he did for me – for us.

I wasn’t able to tell him how much I love him, I wasn’t able to kiss and hug him for long time before his death.. Losing a loved one is a real painful thing.

Realizations are always late, so never ever forget to let your parents know how much you love them – let them know and show your love every minute, everyday… always!
