My Condolences

At 17.25 , the cruel clutches of death tore your father away from you .

Pain . Suffering . Torture . All that hours spent inside the hospital . All the worrying at night . All the things you wished you tell him but never got the chance to .

It's over . All over . He was a great man , because you've grown up to be a strong , young man - someone who will fight against all odds to achieve his goals .

I don't know how to console you . But I will pray , dedicate this entire night of earnest prayers to you . Because , how tough life must be for you now . It is something you should never , ever have to feel , experience and live through .

Now , you will carry on the legacy . The legacy of your father . And you will stand up once more , bruised , hurt , limping , but nonetheless , proud of being alive , proud of being able to feel the pain , proud that you ever had such a great man as your father .



Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Dear Lord , may You grant him the power of tears , the power of goodbyes , the power of love . Please pick him up , carry him on Your shoulders , and walk him all the way again , just as You have done before . I ask this , through Your most holy name , Jesus Christ . Amen .

'I have fought a good fight , I have finished my course , I have kept the faith .' Bible , 2 Timothy IV , 7

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love." - Washington Irving
May you be strong .
