Chapter 20 The Emergency

• Aunt Mercy brought us to visit my dad's grave the next day. While we were there, I asked them to leave me alone. Somehow, it was the closest I could get to my dad. I could no longer see him, no longer hug him, no longer talk to him.
• And no matter how hard it was for me, I had to face the truth. That I am an orphan now and will be alone in life. Even though I have been independent for a long time, the feeling was different now that I knew I had no parents anymore. I have no one to return to. And I knew that I would never see them again.
• But the worst feeling of all was losing dad without the chance to apologize for my mistakes. I wasn’t able to tell him that I was not mad at him, that he didn’t need to ask for my forgiveness and, just like him, I never stopped loving him either. I didn’t expect our next meeting to be like this. Then again, it’s the truth and I can no longer change it.
