A Sad Goodbye

I never thought that I won't be able to see my uncle when I'll come home next year. It's a sad and painful truth which I refuse to accept. It seemed that I just saw him smiling and wishing that I'll have a good life here in China. I was shocked to read my cousin's message this morning that he already passed away last night. He even gave a pocket money since he knew that I didn't have much money when I left the Philippines. My uncle is a bit strict, yet I still feel that he is a kind-hearted man since he's the only uncle from my mother's side that I came to know closely. If only I could fly back to the Philippines and see him for the last time then I would. He was on a vacation with my mother and had stroke, unfortunately he didn't it make since their hometown was too far from the hospital. I feel so sad knowing that I won't be able to see him again and honestly I would miss his being a strict uncle because I didn't have any other uncle who really cared. Now, I just miss home so much, I miss my mother and I'm so worried because she also has a hypertension problem like her younger brother. I just wanted to say goodbye wish that he will be in peace wherever he may be and I want to thank him for everything.
