It has been a year since our uncle left us. Our family never felt such emptiness ever since he was taken away from us by people who don’t value the meaning of family, of life.
We did not only lost a family member, we lost a loved one. Someone who values life as much as we do. My cousins lost their father, I lost an uncle and a godfather, my dad lost his brother, my auntie lost his husband and my grandma? He lost his son.
Imagine how painful it was for us to learn about the death of my uncle, how much more for Inay. A parent should never, ever bury his child because the child should be the one burying his parents, not the other way around.
So it has been a year. Imagine how time flies. We continued living normal just like before. We still do things like a normal family would do whenever we get together but you know, there will always be that hole in everyone’s heart. An emptiness that would never be filled.
Yes, time heals all wounds. But the pain? It never goes away. You just get used to the feeling of being not able to see that person.
But then,GOD HAVE AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST PLAN FOR ALL OF US.
