My Father’s Last Memory

buldani on Feb 21, 2011

This poetry is about my father.

Actually i am not ready to hear the bad news at that early morning on Sunday

There is no sign any more

Why you don’t wait me at the moment

To touch your face, to hold your hand and to say good bye

Just a moment please

Actually i really disappointed for that

I know the fact when my brothers called me that your condition was worse

I know that you were leaving us forever

At that moment, i left all of my duties as student to visit you

i wanted to see you for the last time

During on the road, i remembered all the time when you drive me to go to other city for studying

I never thought that it was the last time i saw you dad.

7 hours letter i arrived at home, but it was too late

There was no your freeze body there

There was only the family member that looked so sad and hopeless

I aware, i left the last moment i could see you for the last time

I am so sorry because i did not make you happy yet

I am so sorry for my entire mistake to you

I know you was in the best place beside god there

Good bye my father, all memorizes about you will be saved by me at my deep hearth.

I feel so sorry for you. My sincere condolence. No one in the world can take the place of your father.

I feel your pain, hon. I was there to hold my dad’s hand the night he died. That was about twenty five years ago and that picture has never left my mind. Just don’t do what I did and ignore the pain. Get some help if you have to but find a constructive way to deal with it.

During he life, i never give him happiness, event i give him some bad thing. i don’t know if he will leave me and my family soon.
maybe because of that, in the end of his life he don’t know to meet me.
and i just have one memorize picture about him, when he was hold me in my 5th years old, he looks like a hero. just it.

It is heartbreaking when we can’t get there in time. It happened the same way with my father. I didn’t get to say goodbye. Everyone has regrets when a loved one dies. We think of things we wish we had said and done. But remember it isn’t only you. We all have regrets and your father had his regrets, too.
