Remembering Papa..

It’s been years since my last glance at Papa.  I can still recall his peaceful face knowing that he is with our Lord Jesus Christ and sharing His Kingdom.  Although sadness sometimes knocks at my heart, I keep telling to myself that Papa is now with the Lord and he feels no pain anymore, no sadness and no worries at all. 

Though Papa is gone I can still remember the times we spent together, watching a basketball game together, and eating out at our favorite fast food chain, and those times when we just have a talk.  I really miss those times.  I miss his voice when he tells me that he is proud of me and he believes in me.  Papa really made me feel like a “princess”. 

His words of comfort made me feel that I was not alone.  He cared for me so much that he sacrificed for us to be not together.  Living in another place for me to have a better future was the reason why we were not together.  But it did not made me gave up; instead I was challenged to be the best that I can be.  I did all that I can to be to be one of the diploma holders.  I struggled with the loneliness that I felt whenever I have worries and fears in my heart but I kept remembering that Papa believed in me that I will succeed in life. 

It kept me to go on with my life, taking a step at a time and counting the blessings that come my way.  With all the challenges that come my way, I was reminded of how Papa believed in my strength and capabilities.  It helped me go on with my life.

With the heartaches and loneliness I felt, God helped me up and gave me the strength to move on.  My faith in Him guided me to do what is right.  God continued to answer my prayers and to shower blessings in my life.  He never left me nor forsaken me.  He is the Father to the fatherless and He made me feel that I was never alone.  He is always by my side and ready to listen. 

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have a relationship with His son, Jesus Christ.  When I got to received Christ as my Lord and Savior, my life changed.

And now I understand that everything has its purpose, everything happens for a reason.  That’s when I learned to accept that Papa is gone, thinking that he is happy now with the Lord Jesus in Heaven.

“I miss you Papa. I will always be your little girl.”
