missing daddy
my dad died on aug 6th of this year. we never knew the exact cause, but his doctor who signed his death certificate indicated cardiac arrest, multiple organ failure and diabetes milletus type II. if we wanted to find out, we would need to have his remains undergo autopy. we didn't want to do that, because when he was alive, he never wanted have his body touched. kaya nung na-amputate sya, katakot-takot na pag-convince and pagdadasal ang inabot bago sya pumayag. and thank God he survived that operation. but i guess it is really my dad's time already. although he kept saying, sana makatapos muna yung bunso namin, i know he knows that he left us well provided and secure. we miss him badly and love him dearly. he's a man of strength, a good provider, an inspiration, a diciplinarian, a role model. he strived hard to keep all of us six children in good schools, sinigurado nyang makatapos kami. he never asked for anything in return. it's been a month now, but i still feel the emptiness, the loss. i know he's in a better place, with our creator, with lolo, lola and uncle teng and aunti ning-ning. the family is now complete. we now have another angel in heaven. we miss you, daddy! you're the greatest dad anyone can ask for. we're so blessed to have you. we love you so much!!! |
