Yesterday was father's day... to be frank it's a day which is just like all the other normal days in my life coz I lost my father when I was a little girl so father’s day is not the day we celebrate.. I still remember the day he left this world, it was also the first day the school re-opened and I was only 8 years old at that time.. We visited him at the hospital a day before; little did we know it was the last time for us to see him. When we got the news that he had left us forever, it was hard to remember or describe what I felt at that time. My mum, she was only around 29 years old at that time. I looked at her, she didn’t cry, she had been taking care of my dad for months and on that day she was the toughest woman ever. I admire her for that. Until today I know how much she still loves my father and how strong she has been in facing the lost of the man she loves the most in her life. After my dad passed away, I had this fear in me as a little girl, I fear losing, I was very afraid that I would lose all the other people I love around me so I started to pray that they would live forever. I know it was silly coz death is inevitable. After that day, my grandfather had taken the role as a father in my life and he had been there until about ten years later, I lost him too. Yesterday I took some time to think of them and to look at their photos. I know I still miss both of them very much and they would remain the best fathers in my life. Of course I also do have my two uncles who have been taking care of me like their own daughter, not forgetting my mum and grandma who have been both fathers and mothers to me all these years. I love all of them for everything they have done.
What I am trying to say here is, I have lost two important people in my life whom I would not be able to meet again, they never had the chance to see the girl I grow up to be, the kind of lady I am now. However, one thing I can say for sure is, we never have to lose the people we love in this world, even when we don’t see them anymore, even when we can’t hold them anymore because they are always in our heart, there is a picture of them in our heart that nobody else has and that picture is what we will take with us forever. As I grow older, I understand that we have no power to stop all the things that had happened, are happening or that are going to happen in our life BUT we have the power to choose how we want our life to be… Continue living, keep those people who matter to us close to our heart even they have left but never stop loving those who are still around…
For those who still have their father around, love him and show your love.. just give him that hugs or kisses… you may never know how much that would mean to the greatest man in our life… Forget the past, live for now and once again.. Be Happy…
*** There is no photo for this post because mum and I took too long to look for the best photo and we ended up laughing at each other on how we looked like in the past.. LoL
