Dear stranger,
Did i tell you my grandpa passed away months ago? Did i tell you the shocked was nothing but it hurt so bad i couldn't tell anyone it was too painful? Did i tell you i shed tons of tears when the plane departed? Did i tell you i cry tons of tears when i pray? Did i tell you it was so hard not having someone you used to live for your life? Did i tell you how everything in the house remind me of him? Did i tell you his room now become a prayer room, which is more and more it reminds me of him? Did i tell you i used to sneak an extra vit c from him? Did i tell you i always remember the smell of him? Did i tell you i took him for granted? Did i tell you how i am so afraid of him being alone in the dark grave? Did i tell you how i was so scared of him being asked by the angel of death?
Dear God help me please, let him be in peace, ease him.

My grief hasn't healed yet when i heard the news of the dad of my best friend passed away this afternoon. It was just two days ago i shook his hands, he asked me how i am going, where i worked and such. And now, it was all of sudden, he's gone. Her whole family is in very very deep sorrow now. He was a good dad, i can tell, i know because my best friend and her siblings were so great socially and educationally. Her family is so strong, even though our family members are in the same amount and same composition, i don't think mine can get through something like this, even though again, i know we will eventually.

I can't believe people are leaving so fast.
I'm getting old and so is everybody.
Don't take anyone for granted, don't.
