……
My sister has an officemate. They have been friends for quite sometime now. And eventually, I've become to know her too. Gina is an only child. She was pre-menopausal baby. And since she was an only child, she was.. Shall we say a brat. She can really say very hurtful and mean things when she's mad. She's used on getting all the things that she wants…. She's used on getting her way.
Gina is in her mid 30's now… she is not married. She lives with her parents and she's enjoying single blessedness so much. She lives very luxuriously… until her mom had a heart attack which cause her mom to be almost in a state of comatose. She does not talk, she does not walk.. She does not eat unprocessed food and she lived with an oxygen tank beside her bed. She had been that way for almost two years until yesterday. Yesterday, she was freed from pain, Finally, the suffering is over … she had become a free woman. She would have celebrated her birthday on the 16th.
But no matter how prepared you are, losing someone you dearly love will never be easy. You may be ready.. you may have accepted the fact that anytime that person is going to leave. But when the truth is already at hand. The pain is still the same. The feel of loss is still the same.
That incident changed Gina. She had come to appreciate little things like spending time at home, sleeping beside her dad again… she was humbled by that experience. I'm wondering what the future holds for her. Her dad is not that young anymore. And she doesn’t have her own family yet. Her dad worries about that too.. Him leaving Gina all alone. Hmmm.. I can only hope that Gina would be strong for his dad and I wish that she would be able to find somebody who'll take care of her and love her 'til the end of time.
