Tomorrow is gonna be a big day for me and my family. Tata's body will be interred and I am not quite sure how are we gonna be handling his loss. You know, life without him.
Just this afternoon, me, my siblings and my cousins were talking about Tata. His antics, how serious he was about us finishing school, how happy and proud he was when the "first batch" of his nieces and nephews marched for graduation, how angry he was when we used to kid him about his hair loss, how OC he was, how he loved us, his laugh, the way he smiles and the list goes on. And you bet, there were sobs in between those stories. We already miss him.
Dad comforted us, his kids by saying that "at least now, Tata's suffering is finally over and that he's now free from all the worldly pains." I hugged Dad and cried like a kid on his chest. I know this is very difficult for him too but I trust in the Lord and His plans are for the good.
Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
Psalm 33:11
