a matter of acceptance

Its only now that I checked at my sis' blog at friendster since she doesn't update that much. I saw an entry she made for her dear friend, Mia, who passed away last May 31 at the age of 24. I cried as i was reading it coz Mia is like a family to us too. She was there during our wedding and Joaqui's birthday (with her baby Bea who will turn 1 next month). We even had a few chats regarding bday preps of her daughter coz she asked for the contact details of Jelly Bellies and party tips too. We went to Mia's wake last June 3 when Papa was ill already. I know how Ricca, my sis, felt that moment she knew that Mia passed away. And I quote :" Im sorry i cant be there to say goodbye personally.. but the hurt and the sorrow is no way less than how everybody around you right now feels.. we all love you, no matter where we are.. we all care for you.".....

My sister wrote this prayer and I just modified a few words coz I'll be praying this for Papa too:

"God, You have reasons for everything, it may be hard for us to accept it, but with Your guidance and wisdom we will realize the reason why this has to happen.. with an open heart we give him to you.. We know he's happy being in heaven, looking down upon us. give us the strength to get through everyday, take away all the pain and the sorrow that fill our hearts right now.. strengthen the bond that keeps our family together.. eventhough You already took Papa away from us here in this world, We know that somewhere he's watching over us.. to our new guardian angel, dont worry we'll be fine.. dont worry about us, because were always going to be here for each other... just be in peace.. and fill our hearts with peace as well. knowing that your happy where you are right now will ease the loneliness.. We will never forget you, thanks for all the love.. WE LOVE YOU..."

I think goodbye is really a hard thing to say, but we have to let you go now.
We cant question God's plans, the only thing we can do is accept it and maybe on His right time we will now the reason why this has to happen.

yeah, at 24 she died. Anurism daw ( did i spelled it right? hehehe..) shocking nga talaga eh, kasi a few days before that magka chat pa kmi and we talked over the fone pa. She's a working mom with a comp shop and water station kaya super busy talaga. She was talking with her hubby when she collapsed. they rushed her to the nearest hosp, but after 45 mins she died na. wawa naman nga her hubby and baby who is turning 1 pa lng :(
