Past Future TenseI guess this is what I'll be saying for the next few years of my life. It happened last March 7, 2007. I was at work when I got a missed call from my brother. When I spoke to him, he told me that my dad collapsed and he was rushed to the hospital. So, I got permission from my team leader that there's an emergency at home. I rushed to the hospital but traffic was really bad in Katipunan and I really hated that. It was such an awful feeling inside the cab. When I got to the hospital, it was too late.
The amazing thing about it was that for a moment I think I was stoic. Like the usual dry and unemotional me. I guess I felt like that because I didn't know how to handle grief. I cried when I saw my dad lifeless. I felt pain. I just didn't know how to handle it. It was all surreal to me.
A few days ago, I dreamed of my dad. He looked so radiant and he was dressed in white. He didn't say anything. He just smiled at me. Monchy told me that maybe it was his way of saying that he's really happy now and he'll always be there for us. :)
