I Lost My Father on My Birthday


I saw this photo in his My Day on Monday, October 5, 2020
I never believed in things like this until it happened to me. That photo above is the one I saw in my father's MyDay last Monday, three days after he passed on. 

Yes, I lost my father on October 3, 2020, my 52nd birthday. It was totally unexpected. He greeted me still in the morning and passed on in the afternoon. He didn't have a lingering illness. He just stopped having the appetite to eat. He was 85 years old. 

72 days later, I still am not ready to talk about his passing. I don't have the words.


All I know is that I will missour times together, our shopping together. I only get to buy expensive things when I shop with him and mom. LOL. Especially at this time, when he and mama would be here in Manila with us and spend Christmas. 

But most of all, I will miss our conversations together. He would keep me grounded. He could pick up. He could make my world all right again. He made me believe in myself. 

He made me believe that the world could go crashing down, but I would always be safe. Because of this, I grew up not worrisome... up until today. 

It's okay, Hutsaiii. We will be OK. Someday, I can write about you a longer one. You may not rest in the bosom of our Lord.
