My Last & Only Letter to Daddy Ed

Dear Daddy Lolo,

Maybe I'm not as close to you as some others, but when this journey ended for you, I am truly broken-hearted too. Some of the nights I stayed up and thought about the few times we talked, they were quite few, but meaningful and will be treasured for sure. The short time you spent with my two angels are unforgettable and I am sure when they're grown to become a woman like me, they will look for a man much like their father and grandfather, and will remember the joy they felt just holding you hands.

Your passing made me realize once more that it is only at the very end the we truly love a person without any conditions, and so I pray that I may express that love so passionately and enduringly to my loved ones while time is still at my side. Thanks for telling me how you feel and for praising what you see I do good and sharing your thoughts on things that we can improve upon. Thanks for letting me look after your only son, for trusting my kitchen and parenting skills too, I don't think a lot of in-laws would do that.

You will always be the Daddy lolo to my children and you know they will also get broken hearted if they learned that you've passed on. So we will make sure they will feel your love through us, we will ensure to keep your memory alive through imparting what we've learned from you.

We thank God for the time he's given us with you, we may grieve for a long time, but surely time heals all. I know your wish has finally come true; spending eternity with your love, Mommy Lola. For now we will move on and look to the future as you would want for us to.

Until then I guess.

D

PS. You weren't able to finish reading the book "the meaning of mary magdalene" when you visited us, i will for you. And I hope you and mommy Thelma like the flowers.
