7th Day since my dearest Dad died

It had been 7^th day since my dearest Dad died. I am still sobbing in silence as our dearest Dad had been my source of inspiration. Despite his advanced age and health condition, he was always on the go, driving himself to constantly learning, creating and giving.  No one can imagine a 79-year old man being very savvy in electronic gadgets and stuffs.  He was very motivated to learn new things surrounding him.   My family and I are trying to move on as best as we can.  But today, I had heartache as I missed his loving ways again.  I missed his gentle touch, his soft-spoken voice.  Usually he gave us a gentle wave from the balcony whenever we took off from his home.  Now, I can only remember all the things that he was - great, loving and gentle.Quite frankly, I never thought that I would have to do this.  I thought that my dearest Dad will always be with us.  He gave us so much - love, joy, happiness and very good education.Dearest Dad, how could we ever sit down and eat again when you are no longer with us?How could we sleep in the night when you are no longer there watching out for us?How could we go on without you?   Life would never be the same again.

The moment you left us, you took with you our hearts…. 

Dad, I know that you are watching us all the time.   We will continue to pray and chant for you to create positive energy for you meet the Great Buddhas, Dharmas, Sanghas and be reborn in the immaculate realm of Amitabha Buddhas pure land.Someone told me that seven days after a person’s cremation, he will be transcended to the next stage of reincarnation.  Dearest Daddy, have a peaceful journey with the 3 Gems.  Lol.
