My Late Father on His 16th Year

Tweet

My father passed away 16 years ago because of sickness. He had a stroke that left him bed-ridden for 6 years. It was a long and agonizing battle for him and for all of us as well who just became witnesses of his suffering. It was his his 16th death anniversary last February 4 but I was not able to visit his grave because I had work. My other siblings and I planned to go there this weekend to bring flower, light a candle and offer a prayer. He was a strict but loving father to all of us. He was soldier, a Vietnam-War veteran. He was our hero. I call him My Optimus Prime. Why? His real name is Primo and when he was alive he wanted to be called Prime which always brought smiles on our faces. But indeed, he will always and forever be my Optimus Prime for every sense of the word. I miss him!
