The dash
Today we laid Tatay Ting to rest. I want to believe that he had fulfilled his purpose and I know that whatever it is, he did a good job. He may not be a perfect husband to his wife nor a perfect father-- but he was someone relevant to all of us. He was someone important to his family and friends and he was loved because he was not perfect like the most of us.
I worry about nanay sons though~ I hope she will not get sad or lonely, I know it will be tough considering that they were married for 49 years. I hope she will be strong and with the guidance of God, She'll get by.
While waiting for the service to start, the screen flashed something about the dash between the date of birth and the date of death. According to the presentation that tiny line defines your life. Thats how important it is. I will post it once I get hold of copy. As I end, remember Life is short. so while we still have time, let's not act quick in anger, treasure the people in our lives and love them like you never loved before.
To you Tatay Ting, thank you for being a part of my life. may you rest in peace.
