This Is The Last Time / The Hardest Thing...

          The hardest thing I've ever had in my life was my father passed away abruptly when I was twenty-one years old, a senior of college.

          I couldn’t do anything, yet, I just awaked with sullen face for almost one year. I couldn’t accept the fact as a real. I was lost completely: I didn’t even have any interest to live any more. There were no reasons at all.

About one year later, I had a dream of my father. He embraced me with warm heart and said, “Baby, don’t feel bad about me, I’m always with you.” When I woke up, I felt that he was comforting me all night long. Finally I realized his love was in my heart all that time.

           It has been already twenty years now, but I still ache for my father. When I think of him I smile with tears in my eyes, since I have two different emotions in me. one is happy because he is always in my heart and giving me his powerful strength: the other one is sad because I miss him so much.
