((OOC)) Mourning

Forgive me for being so silent these days. Many of you may know that my father passed away last Friday. I do feel at peace because I had a heart to heart with him weeks before his death.There was nothing left unsaid. If there was something good about my father, was that he knew how to forgive and forget. I may be one of those privileged sons that may have heard those words from parents that we all want to hear: “I’m proud of you”. Yeah…that’s like music to my ears. I guess that every child in the world wants to hear that phrase from their parents..

Even if the world ends in one year from now (and I really don’t believe it) I would die happy. I had a good family, maybe not rich or perfect, but a good family. I love my siblings and my mother very much. I adore my nephews and nieces like they were my own children. And that’s what matters: love, pure and simple. Love covers every fault.

I will miss my dad, I already do. Christmas may never be the same without him, but whenever I remember how much he suffered from his illness: the pain, the dialysis, his depressions…I’m glad that he’s not here anymore. He’s at peace, no more sickness, pain or suffering and I know that he is happy where he is. I still have lots of pictures, memories and lots of stories about him. He will live as long as we love him. Love never dies….
