Last night Maam Sharyn, received news that his father passed away. She was talking over her mobile, in the middle of a meeting when we suddenly heard her crying, great sobs of anguish. When I got to her table, and saw her, her hands over her face, her body heaving while taking in air in-between sobs, shaking her head and silently repeating the words "No, no..." as if by doing so things that happened can be reversed, I knew and felt that somebody close to her died. It was exactly how Mario looked like a year ago, when he got the news from his sister that Tatay died after a heart failure.
It was a very sad moment, I couldn't image the pain of losing a parent, actually I don't want to imagine losing any. But I pray that when the time comes, for it will come no matter how much I deny it, that God would give me the inner strength to cry, scream or wail my pain. I have this image of me just closing-in, dead and numb.

I sympathize with her. It is hard to lose someone close to you. My Uncle passed away last year who was like a Father to me and it took some time before I have accepted that he's already gone.
It was these times I like listening to MJ's song titled 'Gone Too Soon'. The last line was..Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the only way to have them back is to let them live in our hearts. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
