LETTER TO DAD
Dearest Dad :
I believe there is no more tears running down on your cheek by now as you are re-united with Mom in Heaven on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 08:15 AM.
It has been just 1 month and 1 ½ day since Mom left us on Friday, September 27, 2013 at 21:00 PM.
Since Mom’s departure, you always told us that you were so sad that you wanted to join her immediately. I understand well how your heart was broken because of her departure. You even told us that you and Mom were inseparable because she was your only soul mate, same as “Sampek Engtay”.
It is very hard for me to let you go within a short time after Mom’s departure. My tears were not dry yet from Mom’s departure, and now you had also left me with a sudden departure.
I am so saddened because inside my heart, I will always be the little girl who needs you…
Your gentle smile and voice which always comforted me will be missed in this world forever.
I thank you for being such a wonderful and patient Dad.
I thank you for being such a loving, wonderful and loyal husband to Mom.
I thank you for your hard working to make things the best they could be for all of us.
I thank you for accompany Mom during her sickness although you were also not in good condition at that time.
I thank you for letting me spend time with you for the last 5 days of your life.
It is an honor for me to take care of you during this time. If only I knew I would do better than what I had done for you. You were so weak but you still felt very sorry to bother me, every time I cleaned...
I enjoyed the time when I prepared your meal, helped you taking shower, applied body lotion all over your body, even when I cleaned and cut your nails.
Dad, I thank you for everything…
All of us and all people who knew you will always remember :
That special smile and greetings…
That caring and kind heart…
That immeasurable patience especially for Mom and us…
That wisdom of life that you showed and taught us…
That simplicity in life you led us to learn…
That passion for singing in Church choir…
That commitment to be God’s servant at Church…
That responsibility you took for family and Church…
That faith and love to our Lord Jesus…
I am so proud of you Dad!
They will never be another one to replace you in my heart. All memories about you will always be embedded in my heart.
I believe that you had already re-united with Mom in Heaven, where there is
No more tears,
No more sickness,
No more loneliness,
No more broken heart,
And these beliefs strengthen and comfort me…
I am also glad that I was able to fulfill your request to return home before your departure.
A home and shop where you and Mom raised us,
A home and shop where you and Mom worked so hard every single day for more than half of century to support all of us,
A home and shop where all the laughter and endless good memories of our family were stored.
I love you so much Dad!
You are the best Dad anyone could ever ask for and I am truly lucky to have you!
Although my heart is broken, I know I have to let you go…
Although it is the most difficult thing to do in any relationship, I know - now I have to say GOOD BYE DAD…
Till we meet again!
-Your youngest daughter-
