思念

In August, 2013, my family learned that my father's cancer had returned
after one year remission. My heart and world just shattered.
Dad underwent numerous rounds of chemo and radiation,
but the prognosis was not as good as expected. In February 2014,
we then found out the cancer had spread to the lungs through lymph nodes,
and possibly throughout his body to some extent, yet we couldn’t
seem to do too much about it. Dad lost his battle on January 10, 2015.
Dad had battled a number of health challenge, he always bounced back,
but not this time.
Dad was a fighter and an optimist. He was also a loving,
generous and forgiving person. My dad was and always will be
my hero, my rock, the greatest man I have ever known.
In his life, dad strived to provide us a good quality of life
as the best as he could. He worked hard to make sure we were okay.
Our worlds were safe because he was in it. Losing him was always my
biggest fear since I was a little girl. And now here I am, without dad.
Falling apart isn’t an option. He wouldn’t want that.
He would want me to be happy, to continue on and a fighter
just like he was. “I know, dad. But I can’t since you are no longer with us”.
When you lose someone so close to you, you lose a part of yourself.
There is no doubt that the day my dad died, a part of me was gone as well.
I try to find comfort in knowing that I have absolutely zero regrets.
I try to remind myself that dad is no longer suffering. But I can’t
seem to find peace in my soul.
However, I am so grateful that I got to have 48 years with him,
yet I wish I could spend another 40+ years with him. He told me
a few days before he died that he loved me. That means a whole
world to me as one can never ever imagine.
So much of who I am is because of my dad-from my frank personality
to my belief in loyalty and family.
Words alone could never fully express my pain. But nothing,
not even cancer can take away our sweatiest memories with my dad.
I will forever miss his belly laugh and the warmest smile on his face.
Dad, I love you and miss you so very much!
