Rain falls down in early December

Today is supposed to be a happy day for my biggest supporter in everything. Yes,it is his 26th anniversary. I was ready to congratulating him, when suddenly he called to inform me that his dad has just passed away. I was shocked and said nothing until he broke the silence and said that he got a lot of things to do.

Later that night we talked, he said "this is the birthday gift for me" with smile on his lips and tears on his eyes. He wasn't crying. He's got to be strong for the family."My dad has never gone, he just moved on", he added. He still didn't cry but my heart did.

So I said a prayer for him, May God grant his family strength and serenity, to accept the things human can't change. Just as Lord declared before that His plans for us are the plans to proper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
