Goodbye For Now…
Hi! everyone. In a few hours, I’ll be on the plane to take that long trek to the Philippines. My Dad passed away last Monday (Manila time), the following morning after his big birthday celebration. He was 77 years old.
I am lost. I originally intended to just “disappear” but I deem fit to let you know. Everything was all too sudden, he died of massive heart attack.
Right now, I’m trying hard to just 
But it’s so hard.
To all my blogger friends, please bear with me during this trying time. I will all get back to you (comments and memes) when I come back. To my fellow Entrecarders, be rest assured I will make some arrangements so I can still drop back on you. Thanks.

My prayers are with you in this time of grieving. It will get better but I do not think the pain will ever go away. I lost my mom 10 years ago in Nov. She was 49 years young. I miss her every day. I have learned to treasure the memories we shared and or talked about. I even started a journal as each memory was felt in my heart. Many blessings.

It doesn’t go away, but it does get easier to bear. Then, suddenly, one day you will be filled with joy at the thought of him, instead of the pain you now feel over losing him. God Bless.
