My dad

[gnostic]

My dad passed away in the hospital bed, last Friday night, 10:51 PM.

He has being in this hospital since Tuesday. He had history of asthma, but the latest cold and chest infection had taken a toll on his already weakened lungs and heart. His body wasn't getting rid of CO2 in his blood streams, so he couldn't walk or sit up on his own. Yesterday morning, when he did wake up, the doctor said there were nothing more they could do except make him comfortable.

My mum was gone since March, and I think that he missed her greatly, had lost interests in day-to-day life without her.

His name is Chiu, he is 87, born in the year of the rabbit, in a neighbouring village to my mum's village, outside of Guangzhou (Canton), China.

We will all sorely miss him. But like my mum, he is now with his ancestors, and he is with my mum.

I'm so sorry you lost your parents. But at least they are together and you will see them one day. They will always be with you. :hug:

My father should have died last year. He was in hospital with agonising perforation in his stomach, and the doctors back then, also said they couldn't do anything for him because of his age, so it wasn't possible for him have invasive surgery.

He said his goodbye back then, as did my mum to him. My sisters and one sister's children all said goodbye to him last year. But somehow he survived and recovered, and lived another year. And somehow he outlive mum.

He was one tough guy.

Surprising last two weeks before he became, due to warmer than expected weather, he was walking in the backyard, and doing short little stretching exercises, despite being weak and frail.

Like I said, he was one tough guy, my father.

May he be covered by the cover of Allah. May Allah give you and your family patience and help for continuation of his works for goodness for people.
