It was a night that I wish I had extended my stay with her.
It was about 6:00 o’clock in the evening when I went to my parents’ house for my daily routine to help my sister change mama’s clothes. The oxygen regulator was on her so I asked what happened Mama and my sister answered that she had a little difficulty in breathing in the afternoon of that day. Then they took the regulator and let her ate. Then after that, we changed her diaper and clothes. We observed that she was so weak and when we rolled her over while changing she can’t carry her arms. She was really weak. We really didn’t know that it was already her last night.
If I just knew, I would had been with her until her last breath. I was even surprised that when I was informed I just took it calmly as if I had expected it. Until now, as if nothing happened. I could not believe but right in front of us Mama is inside her coffin. Lord, please take her to your kingdom.

My condolences my friend. Sad to know that your mother passed away. I felt the same feeling when my mother also passed away, we back 4 years ago. I can't believe when I received a call from my father. If we returned back the time, the words you said I also did, to spent my time with her.

Little bit busy at the moment because I almost finish my contract here and I don't want to continue for another years. I decided to make an exit of the country although my Boss want me to stay. How many time they ask me and offer something but not enough for my experience and educational background. End of this month I will be in the Philippines once again.

Hello pahak627
I'm so sad to hear that. My condolences.. Loosing someone you love is not really easy.. I wanna share this Bible text to you hope you will be comforted by our Sovereign God's promise. "All those in the memorial tombs will.. come out"- John 5:28,29.
Don't hide your feelings to your friends. Let them know that you are totally hurt. They can give you all their supports.
Pray for strength and surely God will help you all the way..

You reminded me of the last night of my mother.I can the pain you have been undergoing after your mother departed from you.I am telling you about the last night of my mother.She had been on bed for eight days and her condition was worsening day by day.On the night of June 7,2006 she was unable to talk,turn sides on bed and turn her neck.She was just staring at us with her tired,wrinkled eyes.My younger sister cleaned her mouth.Suddenly we heard gargling of cough in her throat and I asked her to spit it immediately.She did not,because she could not.After asking her repeatedly to spit the cough,I threatened her that I would leave home for ever.I was not at all aware of her inability to lower her head and spit.She looked at me angrily.My younger sister let her on her bed and soon she was fast asleep.I was thinking that she was fast asleep,but the truth was that she had gone into coma.The next day she left us and the world for ever at 4 pm.
