I need to get this off my chest before I continue with the mountains of assignments right in front of me now. Why does it seem i have a lot to do?

Life without my Mother is pretty tough, emotionally, physically, mentally, you name it. And as for me, to juggle school and housework is one hell of a task. Let alone my social life, which is almost depleting right now, god.
Nevertheless, God, is always fair. In this so called "ordeal" i'm having, I have learnt to be independent, and most importantly, learnt that I have a loving Father, all this while. No doubt, it was awakward the first few days living alone with him.
As days go by, I felt that we were a team in this. A good one in fact.
We caught Terminator Salvation at Plaza Sing at 12.35 A.M, because he felt like it. I was estatic to hear him suggest such an "event". haha. It was a blast, the movie eh, sialah, awesome gitu. Serious Shit. And towards the end of the movie, he kinda fell asleep and I dont know, its the same feeling I get whenever I see my cat sleep.
He even went to work on a Sunday morning, while i was sleeping till the afternoon.
Went for Dinner, and a little grocery shopping.

This has got me thinking, taking over my mom'm position in the house, washing clothes, hanging it dry, folding it, maintain the damn kitchen, sweeping, cat's litter and what not, is really one hell of a job, and i never did lay my hands to do those work or help her, for the recent years. And that we ought to be very very thankful, my siblings and I. Which i don't think either of us has done, or even thought about it.

And for my Dad, its gonna be 4 days left before I leave, and sometimes i wish I never did book that ticket. To think that he is going to be alone, oh yes i'm sure about that, my brother is no type to go dinner-with-my-father kind. Its a shame. And it is today that I realize he has played the most outstanding in this family. Even though he is seldom around all this while.

I am very thankful for the past 7 days that I have lived, for I have learnt to know my Father for who he truly is, and that I his family means the whole world to him.
