ANGEL
1 June 2000 – 11 August 2007

“Angel died,” my mom said.
“Dad and I just buried her.”

Tears came down my eyes.
My siblings rushed over with curiosity, I told them the heart-breaking news.
I then sat on the sofa and thought of all the times I spent with her; I couldn’t believe that I lost her; my best friend, my guardian. Melancholy came over me.

My dad came home with his arms open wide; I ran towards him and started crying even more. He told me, “There was nothing we could do.” He rubbed my back, to and fro. “She had 2 cancers; one on her leg & one at the joint. She could have lived about 1-2 months.” He sighed. I wiped my tears.

Afterwards, my mom and dad went upstairs to shower.
My maid came up to me, “Casey, she died.” I nodded and said, “Yeah, I know.” She continued, “She was very good being. When I started working here, she never disturbed me. It was as if I was someone she knew.” I nodded again. “But what I found odd about was that, before today, 4-5 days ago, whenever I open the back-door early in the morning to do my work, she would be right in front of me, looking at me. Usually, this never happens.” Tears came down from both of our eyes. I replied, “She knew it was time.” She sighed. “Yes she did. It’s a pity we couldn’t tell since we human beings understand things differently.”

...
I miss her so much.
I wish I knew earlier about this, so I could prevent her death & her pain from happening.
I wish I spent more time with her, so she wouldn’t always feel alone.
She was the part of the family, for 7 years.
But, she’ll always be part of my memories and in my heart forever.
Rest in peace, Angel. xx
now that you're gone...
