• Ask me about my Dad.

  It was my Dad’s 73rd birthday on Monday the 15th. I walked through the day in a haze, with the grief of losing my Dad fresh in my mind. I think when you lose someone you love, there will never be a day where you think “yes, I’m okay with this”. Never. What I want…

• Dad trying to live vicariously through me.

  I suspect my Dad wanted to be a sports legend. Because he’d “missed his shot”, Dad tried to achieve his goal through me instead. At first, trying new things was fun. “Netball!” Dad exclaimed one day. “Huh?” I didn’t even look away from the TV. I’m a couch person, me. “All Aussie girls play Netball,…

• Conversations with Dad

  

  I don’t remember meeting my Dad, you know. He came into my world when I was 3 years old. Suddenly in our tiny, dirty, shabby Filipino village was a tall white man with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly grin. I don’t remember how we got to be Dad and Daughter…we just were…and…

• Painful firsts

  Tomorrow is my first FIRST. My first Father’s day without my Dad. I can’t find the words to express to you how FUCKING PAINFUL this is. Dad…how can it be? How do I cope tomorrow? When you lose your Dad…breathing becomes very difficult…as if your very lungs are on fire. Your whole body aches terribly.…

• Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a parent

  I thought I had a good 15-20 years left of having Dad in my life before having to consider and accept that yes, he can’t live forever. I’d be older then and more mature (lol) and would be able to spend more time with Dad. Time. That’s the kicker. Because we don’t get to control…
