Working, mourning and rejoicing
Today’s supposed to be rest day. If I am still with the rat race, I should be working on half day today. But since I chose to work from home, Saturdays are even spent online except for some occassions that I am out of the house so I am forced to be on haitus. Imagine I have 20 pending tasks that should be done before the cut-off on Monday so I don’t wanna waste time now.
To start off, I am done with one task and in the middle of reading facts about weight losss supplements at weightlosssupplements[dot]net when Che2x called out from her room. By the tone of her voice, I could say something happened. When she opened her bedroom door, she blurted “Ate, patay na si Papang Alfred”. My fave uncle is gone. Another family member died and the 3rd death since April of this year when my grandfather passed away (they all died due to illness). Though I felt sorrow for Papang’s loss, I am much relieved that at last his sufferings are over, his pains has ended and now he’s with the Lord and reunited with our loved ones who have gone before us including Mamang.
Papang is a diabetic and have suffered complications since last year until the doctors declared that his kidneys are not functioning…literally, gone (“melted” – as what the doctors said). From seems to be a “healthy body” (if we talk about body mass) two years ago (because he’s watching his diet then), he deteriorated so fast as if he has taken weight loss supplements. Lately he was in so much pain that I cannot even dare to look at him and his frail body. Now I am happy that he cannot feel the pain anymore. He can be forever happy wherever he is right now.
May you rest in peace, Papang!
