February 08, 2011 - Grieving day for my family and I for the lost of my oldest and beloved bestfriend, Maharlika. The most painful part on this day is that, i was not able to see her before that faithful day. I was too late when i arrived because i was on my work on that day which is about 2-3 hours travel to our home. When i saw my bestfriend and touched her, i felt the cold touch of her skin. I cried and cried that no one in our house can stop me from crying and grieving. My heart is bent and broken when i looked down at her body. Her eyes were still open as if she died waiting for me to see, until her last breath. Every moment on that day goes history.
In memory of my beloved bestriend, MAHARLIKA
Until this moment, whenever we talked about her, i cannot control myself to flow the tears from my eyes. I'm still grieving. I still miss her. I'm still longing for her.
After 20 days of her death, I dreamed about her. I can say that this is the best dream i have had this year of 2011. I saw her alive. Just like the old days that we are chasing and playing with each other. She will follow me whenever i go, she will waive her tail telling that she was so happy to see me, whenever i came home from my work. When it is time to sleep, she will follow me and lay down beside me expressing that she want to sleep beside me. And the next morning, whenever someone from my brothers and sisters were trying to wake me up, she was there to protect me by barking and frightening to someone who want to disturb me in my sleeping. Then i will hug and kiss her and say the words: "I LOVE YOU BABY MAHARLIKA KOH...".
When i woke up, i realized that i'm dreaming. I'm dreaming about her very alive and very happy pet. I smiled and said, "binisita ko ni maharlika in my dream... i miss you baby koh...".
From this moment, i learned a very important lesson in my life which is, treasure and cherish every moment of your life with your love ones and let them know how important they are. Life is too short, maybe tomorrow, next week, next month or next year, they will leave us to be with god. We will never know when it is, but i know, eventhough you do not have time because of other activities here on earth, make time to be with them and express how you care, how you love and how you treasure them.
