Death is certain...
Death is certain…
In the world full of uncertainties…death is certain. Early this morning I received a call from my brother telling me my uncle has passed away. It didn’t really sink in right away since it was sudden. He has been long diagnosed with a kidney problem he goes through a regular dialysis but today everything seem to not work around ten in the morning he passed away. Now everything is sinking in and I’m starting to feel really sad memories of my childhood playing in my head remembering how things were every detail. He used to take care of us when we were kids and his room was our favorite hang out place. We’d jump up and down from his bed and play our bahay bahayan there. I’ve not seen him for sometime which I regret since I started working I barely come and visit. My tito didn’t have the chance to have his own family so he won’t be leaving a wife or kids but then again usually it’s the children who brings their parents in their last resting place as for my lola it won’t be that way. Death no matter how we know it’s coming is never easy once it’s there. Makes me think about life more. I’m sad…I hope he is in a better place now.
Tito Ben…thank you for the love you have given us and the many times you took care of us when we were kids. I remember how you would tell us stories of your own adventures. The stories you had of my dad. I remember the way you laugh, the sound of your voice and how you would scold us when we were naughty. I still can’t believe you’re gone but I guess that is life and how it ends. I’m sorry if in anyway I disrespected you or if anyway I hurt you. I’m sorry I didn’t even get a chance to see you during the holidays. I didn’t even get the chance to show you what I’ve put up. I’m sad because I will miss you.
