This is a re-post from my old blog.
My father passed away 10
years ago. It was the 'big C'.
He was in the US with my
sister when he was diagnosed with cancer. The tumor was immediately
removed and he underwent radiation treatment. However, the cancer already
metastasized to other parts of his body particularly the lungs and the liver.
So, what was left for my sister to do was to send him back here in the
Philippines so he could spend his remaining days with us
Death, for me, is
inevitable. Anybody can die any time of the day or night, and there is
absolutely nothing we can do about it. So, I believe that the best thing you
can do before you die is TO LIVE.
I knew he was dying, but
what pained me most was to see him die of painful death, little by little,
minute by minute.. but I stood by him until his last breath. And I was so
thankful to the Lord for giving me the chance to be with him and be of service
to him until the end.
I have accepted a long
time ago that he is gone and is no longer with us. There was nothing left
unsaid, nor anything left undone... We have said 'i love yous' and 'i'm sorry's' and everything there
was to say.
However, if there is something
that I would like to tell him now, that would be... I MISS HIM SO MUCH.. He may
not be the perfect father but I do believe HE TRIED to be and that was good
enough for me.
Happy Father's Day, Pa....
