Goodbye Uncle | Goodbye Kaka

in #life6 years ago (edited)

I was very inactive in steemit right after I graduate from college, almost a month of minimal internet usage. Before I graduate my parents decided to let my mother go abroad to help in our daily expenses, her flight was scheduled at July 8, 2018 (just two days after her birthday). Because of this I have decided to make time with the both of them, distancing my self to technology and not looking for a job at the moment.
The day after my mother's flight I make a post about those 15 days, click post here. I was now planning to make my resume or CV but then another problem occur.

My "Kaka" (our term for uncle that was way older than our father) need to be confined in the hospital.

He doesn't want his children to know his condition. It was a private matter to their family.

Because no one could look after my kaka my father decided to make me look after him. Looking for job was being move until my uncle recovers

It was not a problem for me as he really was a great help in our family when my mother was been hospitalized too, Moving my job was not really a big matter for me as my mother also was now helping in our every expenses.

But the day for my Kaka comes

July 15, 2018 | 11:58 pm My uncle passed away

I was not there when my Kaka die, I was on the house because I was planning to go to the school on the next day, I cannot sleep that night so I decided to go in the nearest 7/11 store to buy some foods but as I've arrived home my auntie was in the house and bring me the sad news. That time my cousin was the one who is looking to my Kaka.

I feel very devastated that time, @teardrops from my eyes won't fall, I cannot make myself speak. The news won't sink in in my head, it was like I was only dreaming, but I know in myself that it was really true. It was not a dream, its the reality we never dream of.

My Kaka's eldest son decided to bring his father to our province

I also think that its best to have your last resting place to the place where you were born

After my Kaka passed away many papers for transferring him to our province was needed. My uncle was born on the island of Mindoro so we really needs to fix a lot of papers for the transportation on the ship. I really want to take my uncle to his resting place but we really was in a big debt.

Having me and one of my cousin look after my uncle when he was in the hospital was really tough as we don't have any relatives living near the hospital. Loaning money was our only choice that time

My father was the one who accompany my Kaka on the way to our province, I only accompany them until the Batangas port.

It was really hard for me because I can't make myself accompany him to his last resting place. Hope I win the small time lottery so that I can have some money to accompany my uncle to his resting place. I really do hope to provide some money for the fare as I need two thousand Philippine peso or at least forty US dollar.
