It is very difficult for me to accept the veil the night I’m going to face after my father’s death two months ago. This is due My father answered the Divine call as night fell.

Everything has been dad entrust it to you, don’t you forget your father’s order. ” I just nodded the sign understand. “Stop it, don’t talk too much, you’re sick, rest.” Mother’s advice between listen with no. Dad just blossomed a smile even though it was bland. I watched my family’s gloomy faces change. On the porch I saw my sisters pensive, the gloom that pervaded their hearts was evident. Dwarf body they seem helpless in the face of any possibility. In the corner My room, it looks like Usu’s mother is sitting alone. Indeed, Mak Usu is very friendly with father, perhaps because of the love shed by his brother that’s since grandma died. I returned my gaze to my father. The journey of his breath undulating like waves. He is half -conscious. Seeing her hair turn white and Dad’s old wrinkles and his limp face, I can guess he bears a lot punishment for the sake of raising us all. Dad’s breath was rippling suddenly stopped. I was anxious and worried if dad’s departure was a reality. “Mother, father is gone. Dad left us, mom! †I was very surprised to hear my words.
