I’m going home, after all
Posted on May 19, 2008 - Filed Under Family |
It’s almost 6:00AM and I still can’t sleep. Yes, I am going home to the Philippines after a couple of years, but not to have a grand vacation. How I wish that’s the case…
It’s been a few hours since I received the news about my father. At about 10:00PM (Philippine Time) last night, my father had a cardiac arrest and he didn’t make it to the hospital. I just talked to him on the phone yesterday morning… How I wish God allowed my father to live until my planned vacation on October. How I wish my father waited until I could treat him and my mother to a vacation here in Japan. How I wish I could take him to Australia, the U.S., to anywhere God sends me to. We haven’t had a Christmas for years when we’re all together. We haven’t even taken another family picture since I was 5 years old. I wish…
We couldn’t do anything but weep and endure this numbing pain. There’s nothing we can do but have faith and believe that we are all in God’s hands.
Dear friends, thank you for extending your condolences. Thank you all for your comforting words and for the prayers.
In honor of the greatest father in the whole world, here’s his life story:
My Father, Our Hero

I was so sorry to hear about you father. My dad died of a massive heart attack when I was 16 that was almost 15 years ago and I still get sad by it. God is the only thing that can get you and your family through. You are not alone. In constant prayer for you and your family!
