The Death of a Dear Sister

Today, I received a text from my younger sister telling me that Ate Dess is gone. I never cried though I felt so sad but when my sister called, I couldn't speak. Tears were overflowing from my eyes and my sister was like, "Hey! Are you still there?"

When I took a shower, the tears were racing with the water wanting myself to wake up from a nightmare. There can be no relief for the sadness I feel right now. I lost a great part of me - a sister, a bestfriend and a confidante.

Ate, why have you gone too fast? Just yesterday, I received a text from you. You were asking me why I didn't replied to your text. I replied to your text telling you that I replied to your previous texts. But you never texted me back. Why did you not say goodbye? 

Though it is best for you to rest in peace now so that you can't suffer from the pain cancer is inflicting in you, I still want to be with you and talk to you. I still want you to be alive. Last week, I even told you that I will be there on Dec.23 - on your birthday.

We will be missing you. We love you so much, Ate!♥
