Remembering Dad
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Three years ago, I was frantically trying to get the first flight out of bangkok to get to my dad who was rushed to the hospital. I can still remember my trauma, tension, fear, and ordeal which I recounted in an old blog.

Time flies so fast. The two most important people in my life has left me yet somehow I still can’t over it. They had been continually guiding me I can sense that. As a matter of fact, three of my friends have through the years somehow brushed into them perhaps whenever I really needed them. Bebeth, my very good amiga, who was the one who took care of my dad while waiting for my mom’s remains in the don bosco chapel, was the only one who actually saw my mom a few weeks after she passed away. We were together then and we were going to meet regarding mom’s land when she suddenly saw her seated inside my car while we were crossing the street.
Tess, my dear friend who I was with in bangkok that dreaded day when dad was rushed, dreamed of my late parents many times over so she always offers the weekly masses in the bank for them. Cynch, my child hood friend and schoolmate, whose mom was also mom’s schoolmate received ghosts text messages when she was in Indonesia so she readily met up with me when she visited.
Life had been tough but I had happy moments and unexpected opportunities to constantly travel, something which has been a passion of my family.
The past months till now however had been very trying and sometimes I cry and ask dad and mom why they left me alone. Life is tough and I cannot even afford to brood and wallow in depression for I need to survive.
One thing though which my parents have instilled in me is the profound faith I need to have withe the lord and that is the only thing keeping me sane.
Because of what happened to my parents, even to my grandparents, I vowed to study a lot in the field of natural healing. They all had been victims of western medicine specifically the drugs which made them more sick.
I hope to one day succeed in setting up this wellness business which will benefit many specially the aging who are forced to be hooked on prescription drugs.
