we received van's sad news last friday that her dad, after month's battling with the big C, finally passed away. the news sort of dampened our spirits what with our scheduled trip to the beach over the weekend. it has been a tough time for van and her family, most especially her dad. i haven't met van's dad so much to have familiarity but i've been friends with van for a long time already. this is the thing about being an adult that i hate - its a time to face up to bigger realities of life, bigger eventualities and inevitables. we all know death is certain but its never an easy thing to accept.
over the last few times i've managed to catch up with van, it was difficult to talk about what her family was going through. there's something about these difficult times that turns kids into adults, that sheds immaturity and makes someone more responsible. i guess in some way, facing up to bigger problems makes you realize that playtime is over. like i said, being a grown-up sucks.
Daddy Pio is now with the Lord. No more pain and suffering. We should all pray for the eternal repose of his soul and pray for strength and peace for van and her family.
