-Hello everyone! How are you all? I hope you are all fine together with your friends loved ones and family❤️
The sorrowful time came to us the time our father passed away on June 2012, it was a truly heartbreaking moment for our family relatives, and his closest friends, and for some people who remembered him as a very kind, humble, calm, and jolly person.
My father suffered from prostate cancer, and with God's blessing and mercy, we only knew his actual condition a week before he passed away. He never knew his real condition, our very loving, responsible, caring father..a perfect father. Almost 10 years have passed but still, those happy and sad moments were fresh in my heart and mind. The day he died was very sorrowful and challenging for all of us. The attending physician was asking if our family wanted to use a respirator a few minutes before he died. But we asked what will be the good and bad effects, will that procedure go to lessen his pain. Because at that very moment, he must be transferred to ICU( intensive care unit), but unfortunately it was not available in that hospital. He was confined in the most expensive room in that hospital though those times our family was experiencing a financial crisis because he needs a very comfortable room for his situation my sister and her family who was residing in Texas USA the one who shouldered everything from the medical exams, checkups, and confinement "Papa" is what we call him spent almost a month on his last confinement in the San Pedro Doctors Hospital here in our place San Pedro City Laguna Philippines. We also asked for help from Politicians, government institutions, and friends and relatives too. Very expensive medications and treatments but for Papa we did everything. A week before Papa died my sister and her family arrived so timely that it was also their summer vacation. Our family was planning a vacation and a reunion at that time, to visit the province of Bicol where my sister and her family stayed, and also my father's province. But the plan didn't go as we planned it because the supposed to be a happy reunion ended to send our father to his last stop here on earth, in Angels Garden, to join our ultimate creator.
So we got a memorial lot in Angel's Garden Memorial Park, San Pedro City Laguna Philippines 🇵🇭. We choose lot 39, in the Angels Park Category, a short distance from the Gate. It was a small and exclusive memorial place, comfortable but economical too, you can maintain it, and in one lot you can bury 2 bodies. The place is heavenly according to me, surrounded by nature's beauty, like green palm trees and cypress too, there were also Kalatsutsi flowering trees white with yellow variety is what I have seen there. Every time we visit there we don't bring flowers, like what you are seeing in the photos, the kids arranging the kalatsutsi flowers which they got after their short walk around the place, the flowers were around the place laying in the green carabao grass, you can imagine how relaxing the place is... The design is great with a small chapel and water lagoon so when there is heavy rain all the water will come there, if there is also an earthquake the place is safer because it was a hilly place and not an apartment type, I am not discriminating the public cemetery, because one of my aunties, my father's sister had been placed in an apartment type, and we couldn't find it now, they remove the bones without even formally notifying us. In Angel's garden it is a lawn, 6 feet below the ground, like you can see in the pictures it was like everyone is having a beautiful moment with their departed loved ones, like having a picnic with them. The ambiance of the place is like a park, that I feel like if I want to talk with my father I can go there anytime I want and he is just waiting for me. And surely my family feels the same way.
The last stop of our father here on earth, Angel's Garden Park where his friends, relatives, and family were present, that was also the moment that I felt the most sorrowful time, the last time that I went to see my father. A realization that life has an end here on earth, to start the walk to everlasting life journey to be with God. Hard to accept because I always thought that my father was strong, he will be survived but sadly.. all of us are temporarily here on earth.
But I thank God that Papa's body is peacefully resting in his peaceful kingdom here on earth, there in the angel's garden, where the beauty of nature surrounds him. As I walk around his friends are also resting there. Whenever we visit that place, it was like we are visiting a leisure park, the morning sun, and the green grass and trees together with the blooming flowers of Kalatsutsi welcomed us always!
And wherever you are, I want you to know that you are like a tree..that protects and comforts..and defends us on everything. I made a letter for you..as you are a Narra Tree and I pray that you feel how precious you are to me and our family
I hope you all like it!🌷.
Please always take care and rest whenever there is a chance, and always wear and keep a beautiful smile like this👉😁💚 always and forever..always be jolly and happy, and please lift all the worries to God ..Welcome the morning with a solemn prayer and a happy mood!💚.
