farewell to my popsy

It was a couple of weeks ago when the Beijing Olympics had started and officially opened. August 8, 2008.. This is now a historical date on the sports world. This is the most awaited and anticipated date for everyone who wanted to witness the olympics. I myself get excited too in spite that I am having an SEO training. But this date and event is surely unforgettable for me and my family not because of this event. This is the day when my father died.

It was August 8 2008 when my dad finally surrender his life to the Lord. It was painful...My dad is gone whom I used to call popsy. It's the only me who called him like that. Gone is the father that I used to know. My papa, my popsy, the man of my life is gone.. I am on the process of adjusting and accepting that he's with the Lord now.. I'm so sad.. all the memories are coming back from childhood until now. I'm his princess and he is the prince of my life. He's the reason why I stayed in Legaspi instead of giving myself a break with a promising job in Manila. I know it's just a piece of cake for me! But I reject the opportunity for him. I never regret it. It was worth it that I choose to spend my time with the last days of his life.

I will surely miss you popsy sooooooooo much... I love you my popsypops!! I know you know it.. But i know i can never replace the kind of love that you have for me. You reject the opportnuties abroad just to take good care of me. I know I'm d apple of your eye. I can never imagine the things you've done for me nor the things you sacrifice for me and for my brothers and sisters, but I thank the Lord for giving you to us. You're irreplaceable in our hearts.

My family and I are on the process of moving on... I still can't help myself to cry at night but I know that God is with me through every details of my pain. I know He's there, giving me comfort and the strength that I need. I thank God for He allow us to show to him how much we love him. I thank God for giving me a father like him. so caring and loving for me.. A father who loves to cook meal for me every time I take off to work.. A father who is sweet, funny, and thoughtful... Thank You Lord he is my dad.. I know that he is resting now and is happy now with the Lord...
