Hi Marisa. Thank you for writing this. It’s hard to lose someone we love unexpectedly and at such a young age. I lost my father unexpectedly almost 2 weeks ago and every day since then has been a constant battle between grieving and trying to be go back to normal life.
I know he is only gone physically and that I get to see him again when my time as a mere mortal comes to an end, however, it’s just so hard to wake up and realize that he is gone and that our family will never be complete again.
My father is such a good man with a big heart, I witnessed it myself and everyone who attended his funeral only had good words for him — it made my heart ache more and started to question “Why him? He is such a good man!” But of course, there is no earthly answer to that. I guess I just miss him so much, and I know I will miss him forever.
But as they say, life will move forward, and we have to be strong. What keeps me going now is my mother and younger brother — I know that is what my father would like me to do. Look after them, until we all see each other again.
Marisa, thank you once again. Your words are comforting and it made me realize that I am not alone. Hope you are doing much better now.
Ron
