We didn't know eachother for long. Only for a two years and more. But none the less you accepted me into your family. Every day I came home, it was a day more in understanding the family that I wanted to build together with you and her.
I want to thank you for being in my life, and leaving forever an understanding of what it means to love unconditionally and to be together every single day.
To be honest when your condition worsened it scared me. It scared me not only of how much I feared to lose you. But I also worried how Nikit would feel and how I would have to deal with that.
That night when you were in pain I knew it was almost time, but deep inside I just wanted to run away. In the morning I left for work, cowardly hoping you would be okay when I came back.
But when Nikit called me at noon, it stopped time in a way. Had my boss not told me to come back I would've still been running away.
I came back to you guys and I think then we all knew time was short. We tried to laugh, we tried to love each other and most of all we tried to spend what last moments we had together.
We ate together one last time, slept next to eachother one last time. and shared laughs and tears on what had been and what might be far from now.
In the morning the winds blew heavy outside as the typhoon raged on. But inside our home, we were silent. We were in the eye of our own storm.
As the typhoon outside subsided, the doctors arrived. Normally you would be the first to alert and yell at visitors. But instead you were the calmest one of us all. You sat up as if you knew what was already coming. You looked straight ahead as if telling us this is the way.
And as the doctors injected the liquid that would finally take you away, you faced us with brave eyes. I couldn't handle those eyes. With one last breath you finally laid to rest.
"And she has passed." Is what I remember as the two of us remained in the small apartment. The sadness and sounds of grief surrounding your lifeless body. The sun has started to peek from the clouds outside, but the rain kept pouring in our hearts.
