Five years ago today at 5pm my phone rang…
me: hello?
my brother: Ria? (urgency in his voice)
me: Mark…what’s wrong? Is mom okay?
my brother: Mom’s fine…but…I need to tell you something…
me: Just say it…if you say it quickly, it won’t be so bad.
my brother: Dad’s gone Ria…(starts crying)…he’s dead.
me: What?! Noooooooo!!!! (crying uncontrollably)
Mark handed the phone to my mom after that…she proceeded to tell me that my dad had suffered a massive coronary and that the artificial valve in his heart gave out. He died before he even got to the hospital.
Even now that phone call haunts me. I miss him SO much!!
Did you hear me Daddy? I miss you…I love you. I think of you everyday…and I always will.
In Loving Memory

I’m sure he can hear you, Maria
That is so sad. I am very sorry. I understand how much you must miss your dad. This November it will be 9 years since my dad died and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him.
I’m positive he watches over you and hear’s you!
I am sorry its always hard on their Aniv
Aww I’m sorry about your daddy. That had to have been so hard. I can’t even imagine. But I’m sure he’s watching over you now.
Im sorry…
I kwym– itll be the anniversary of both my best friend’s and grandmother’s deaths next week Wednesday and Thursday…
Your daddy’s always watching over you and knows how youre feeling ~hugz~
I can really identify with your feelings. Even though my Dad has been gone 30 years, I would still love to climb up in his lap and be “Daddy’s little girl” and get those “Butterfly kisses”. My brother-in-law has an artificial valve in his heart……..he’s had if for almost 20 years.
i;m so sorry
hope things get better and my thoughts n prayers are with you
{{{{{{{{ maria }}}}}}}} good thing you have family and jason
Good thoughts for you and Jason as you celebrate the unhappy anniversary of the passings of your family.
Such a painful memory. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I heard somewhere that it’s selfish to want loved ones back from the grave – better to be happy for them for going to a better place. And remembering the good memories is much sweeter than crying for who is gone. Cheers.
