Thoughts on our Papa’s passing

Dear Papa,

 The past days we’ve had nothing on my mind but you. Day by day, our hearts grew painfully heavy thinking about all our shortcomings – all the things we should have told you, all the things we could have done for you, and all the hugs and kisses we would never be able to give you anymore. We  were so angry at the universe for taking you away from us at such short notice. But we’ve realized life never prepares you for the grief you receive from losing someone so dear to your heart, and even though you give it your all you will still end up with a million what-if’s.

 Recalling all our memories of you filled us up with so much pride to be called your family. We are who we are today because of you and all the things you’ve done for us. There was one recurring theme among all the farewell messages your friends and family have bid you the past days – and it is that they will never forget how loving and joyful you were. Everyone you’ve touched with your life has received nothing but love and wisdom from you – priceless things that you never held back on giving.

We love you so much, Papa. We thank you so much for being the most loving and caring father, husband, brother, and friend. We thank you for always bringing us so much comfort and assurance and always making us feel how proud you are of us. We will never forget how you touched all our lives and we will make sure to live our lives giving out the overflowing love and care you unselfishly gave us. We do not know if we can ever recover from the pain of losing you, but we will always remember how strong you were – enduring years of pain for us – and will make sure to be as strong as you as we continue to keep you alive in our memories.

We take peace in knowing that you are no longer in pain. Until we meet again, Papa. Abuten yo kami la no unsabi’y oras ya si kami met manpatanir la’d dya. We love you and miss you so dearly, it hurts.

With much Love,

Venus Zenaida
