You're currently eating peanuts, half-empty glass of coke on the side, asked me to attend to my little niece. As you chew on those peanuts, you're watching Willie Revillame on Will something. Now you're taking a sip on your almost-done glass of coke, and you just coughed, coughed, and coughed some more. Took a breath, got some peanuts, and threw them all in your mouth. And I wonder how you can chew them all since you're not wearing your postiso as of the moment. This little lady bug just asked me, "Tita Abbie, you want to eat na?" and you murmured, "Mhmm". You just asked Ate Cita, "Ano 'to (pertaining to the peanuts), may bawang?". You grabbed some more peanuts leaving its container almost empty, you coughed a little, coughed some more, coughed even more. Oh boy does it hurt me whenever I hear you coughing to death. While this little bug, wearing her Shrek headband, gets a suka/toyomansi for her rice, you asked me, "Look at this small girl," and stared at her, told her, "Oh, tama na." And as I typed, I paused to look at you, then you looked at me and said, while this little bug gets her ice to put in her glass of water, "Look how she can do it alone." Now you closed the container of peanuts, this little bug turned the table and said, "Tissue" and you responded with an alienated word that only God knows. Now, you just took a sip of that coke, reached for the tissue, wiped your mouth, placed the tissue under the place mat, and started to lay your eyes on the television. Gets the glass of coke, took a sip, mumug-ed it, and took the last sip and laid it down. Got some ice, put it in your glass, and added water. Grabbed a toothpick, cleaned your teeth from all the peanuts you ate. Ate Cita passed by and you said, "Ang sarap ng kain, oh" looking at this little bug who's almost finish with her food. Turned your plate upside down, grabbed your utensils, and you seem like you're getting ready to eat the main course, dinner. "What are you eating? No more food?" while getting rice. "Very good, very good," and this lady bug starts to get down on the chair, puts on her slippers, goes to Ate Cita, "I'm done, I'm done" Daddy, you look really sad, and it makes me sad too. God knows how sad I am whenever you are. You just added some vegetables on your rice, mashed the squash together with the rice, and ate some. "Di na daw po kakain si Doctora," Ate Cita said, "Huh?" dad said. Got some pork chop, sliced the fat off. "Ano ginagawa mo baby?"
Daddy, I know you're sick. Daddy, now that you're still in front of me, I'm already missing you. Daddy, I pray to God that He may give us some time to talk, to get to know each other even more. Daddy, I really love you. And, hopefully, before you leave us and reunite with Him, He will give us time together.
As I finish this blog, the contestant on the show sings I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith.
I love you, Daddy. I love you, Papa. I love you, my hero.
Always,
Your (not so) Forever Little Girl.
