“I love this coffee, it reminds me of my father” After sipping a cup of coffee. I remember he told me that there is one thing in this world you can not buy… and that is time. I never knew it until it happened.
“Raki, you should come home and have dinner with me and your Papa. It’s been 6 months since we had our last one”Mom said. I really can’t go home because I’m afraid that I might let down my boss, plus me and my friends will go out of the country to travel Europe. So I replied, “I can’t mom, I’m too busy. I have a lot of appointments and projects to work on”.

“I can’t mom, I’m too busy. I have a lot of appointments and projects to work on”.
“Goodbye my daughter,” My father said.When I heard his voice, I felt uneasy for some unknown reason. However, I shrugged it away.
Mom replied, “You really can’t? Even if just for breakfast with us. Coffee with us just like how your father likes”
“Okay, hunny. If that’s your final decision. Goodbye.
“Goodbye my daughter,”
“I really can’t Mom"
*during trip with friends/ 2 weeks ago**phone notification* I received a text message from my sister. She told me that…. That.. Papa is dead.
I can’t feel my feet and my hands are shaking. I was so shocked, I felt numb, and all I thought about was the dinner they wanted to set up for us.. But all I think about is my selfishness.
*at the moment*It’s been two weeks since he died and I still can’t believe it. And, it’s been two weeks since I’ve been repenting. I sat in this chair thinking about how important family is. That I should put them above and they should be my first priority.
