Dad, thank you

I am scheduled to fly back to Manila tomorrow night, Friday. This is the only best available flight for me. I arrive Manila on Saturday night, and I have at least one night to see Papa’s body for the last time. He is scheduled to be cremated Sunday morning.
I’m mourning yet okay here in Australia. Dad just probably waited for me to come here because, I guess, this is what he wanted for me. I’m happy with my career, and I know that he is happy for me as well.
We were having problems confirming my fly out of Gold Coast. So I prayed and also asked Dad to help me out. My problem was that before Manila, I still have to pass by Jakarta to drop off stuff. Diana, the local travel agent here, is heaven sent as she was able to come up with a light itinirary via Singapore for my Brisbane-Jakarta-Manila flight. We were able to finalize my flight just this lunchtime.
It seems that with Dad’s passing, things are falling into the right places. The messages and the signs are getting clearer. And I know now what to do next. I’m planning on making some key decisions and these are for good. My final answers. There’s no turning back anymore. I’m doing this for Papa.
Thank you, Dad.
Sorry for what happened ‘Ter. I wasn’t around for you and could hardly press a button on my cell coz of sudden adjustment to my new job in a call centre. I’m glad that u seemed to have taken thing in stride. I hope your mom and your siblings are in good condition. My job’s in Makati and I work from 10pm to 7am… so if you happen to drop by and got the time, let me know.
