A feeling of loss

Whenever there is someone in the family who is very dear to us died, we immediately felt lost and somehow bewildered by life's uncertainties. Although death itself is certain, its still very hard for us to accept the bitter realities that one has to go away and leave us. Others take a lifetime to let go and start rebuilding the broken self brought by sadness. I could very well relate to this, my father was taken to us when he was already 83yrs. old, some would try to console me that its okay he already had his time of his life and has done so many good things already that is why God has taken him already. But for us his children, it is still difficult to swallow the fact that our father is gone and could no longer be with us in good and bad times. As I flashback the years with him, all i can remember is the happy, loving, generous, kindhearted and caring to us and a wonderful husband to our mom. It is true that time heals all wounds, and as I look back, i could just say that everything happens for a reason and that whereever he is now im sure that he's just there in the corner watching us. He has been a great father, a mentor...and all the things that he teaches us serves our guide as we venture through life. He may have gone, but the legacy he has left on will continue and for always, in our hearts he'll always be present no matter what. The lesson here is cherished every moment you had with your loved ones, show them your love, appreciation and be grateful for every moment because life is uncertain. While there's life, enjoy it to its fullest.
