Papa passed away

Tweet

11 years after my mother's death, I am concerned about my father living alone in the provinces. Every day, I worried about my father's health, but he lived another 7 years before finding someone to care for him. For the past 2-3 years, I felt relieved that he now had a companion who could look after him. However, I was shocked to learn of his death yesterday. He became ill while they were supposed to be at a senior citizens' gathering, and he collapsed and died as a result. There were no signs that this would happen because yesterday was just another day for them. I am sad that this had to happen, but I am relieved that he died quickly and without the complications of surviving and suffering from it all.
