Good Bye, Pa Pa

my dad passed away last wednesday 17th May 2006

for the longest time, i couldnt talk about it

dad was diagnosed with liver cancer last september

we never acknowledged it to be cancer and never used that term becos dad never thoght of it as cancer

only the doctor did

in fact, there was another professor who said in his seventy years of experience, this is not cancer but a serious form of hepatitis B

whatever the case, it does not matter now that dad is in heaven. but it was a good thing that dad didnt think of himself as terminal becos he lived like there were many tomorrows

he had not begged for another day

in fact, in his note to us, he wished for our good health and asked for blessings for us, his siblings, cousins, friends and relatives

such strength and calmness he had

made my heart break

but i shall live in his strength. he was such a simple man, a born volunteer. helped at RC for over twenty years. old aged home etc. his life besides loving us was loving others. aged, poor, animals, you name it. he was in action every day.
till his last days he talked about loving every body and about god's almighty love
(a little confusing for some people as dad was buddhist)
but whatever, love prevalis and dad knows he has so much love. never did he finched for a second.

i love you my pa pa, i love you

i will see you again
