Papa

TheHub and I were going to see "Taken", starring Liam Neeson, today. He said he needed to first fix the toilet and play a few sets with Philip yet before coming here.

Some time in the mid-afternoon he sent me an SMS telling me that he'd leave a little after six. by 6:12 PM, his message read: Leavn nw Hun. Just then the maintenance guy was just finishing up with the heater. "Perfect timing," I thought to myself; so, I told him in my reply that I was already about to shower.

I was getting my stuff ready when my cousin, Peter, handed me the cordless phone and said it was his Tatay (Tagalog for Dad).

The moment he knew I was already on the line with him, he asked me if I already knew about what had happened to my Papa. He told me that he had passed away this morning ... just a couple of hours before he made that phone call to me. (Sunday morning, February 1, 2009 in Manila, Philippines; Saturday night, January 31, 2009, here in California, U.S.A.)

He hung up & I called home. Manang Nimfa answered my call. When she realized it was me, she started sobbing while telling me about what happened.

I am sorry but I choose not to re-tell the story here. I am sure you guys would understand.

Anyway, after talking to Manang, I called Mama up. When TheHub got here, he just held me in his arms and I cried, and cried. After about an hour, he told me that I have to eat because I haven't eaten anything yet the whole day.

We had dinner. As usual, I wasn't able to finish my food again. He tuck me in bed afterward, and stayed with me until midnight.

This entry is for yesterday. I wasn't able to come online to talk about this anymore last night.

____________________________________________________________________
He said he was going to come here today to keep me company; but he had to take Angela to Kaiser because she was complaining about pain on her side. They were there from 8:45 am till a little past 7:00 pm. So, he didn't come here anymore that way he can take care of her daughter. She had a 107 deg(F) fever and a viral infection in her lower abdomen.

I'll just see him tomorrow.
