A long time ago, a friend of mine lost her dad to a prolonged illness and she seems to never get over it. I remember thinking to myself, isn't it taking her too long to recover? Now I realise that you can never recover from a lost of a loved one, you just adapt and move on. The funny thing about human beings and our complicated brains is that even though you are missing and loving someone who is no longer with you, you are still able to go through your life in a seemingly normal manner. You can still enjoy a movie, chat with friends, play with your kids. You can even quarrel over small matters, get obsessed in the hottest topic in town, shout at the kids. You can work and go about your business normally but thoughts of your lost loved one is never far from your mind. It's like you subconsciousness, she is always there.
My dearest Emily,
You are never far from my mind. I think of you everyday, EVERYDAY! Pray for me, daddy and your brothers and sister so that we will always walk in the path towards heaven, our ultimate destiny. We love you and miss you dearly.
Love,
Mummy.
