Til death do us part

"Forgive me... Please forgive me..." A man said, standing near the entrance of a memorial hall.

"Forgive me..." He said to his two daughters now in his arms. Both who were forced to suffer the consequences of the mistake he made in his youth.

It was surely a painful day for him on that day. It was a memorial day for his eldest son who died of cancer.

After a few years, the two girls were reunited with their father. For him, to have a gleams of him, they ventured into a place where they don't belong. To a funeral of a family but yet a stranger.

A family reunion ought to be a joyous occasion, right? But not this.

After a few years without a news from their father, they finally heard of their father's conversion into Christianity. On his death bed. He claimed that he had seen God or rather Jesus and was given a second chance to make things right again.

The three of them embraced with tears flowing down their faces. To the girls it seems like a dream come true, a prayer answered. It was almost like a dream to see their father praising The Most High, they silently pray that this will last because...their father's days are numbered.

Months after months, their father's condition got worse until one fateful day, he finally breathe his last.

Dear friends, you may not have a life of a broken family or maybe yours may be breaking. Remember this that we are forever bounded as a family. Appreciate one another before it's too late. Christians do believe that death is another chapter of life, not the end. But think about those whose and one of their families are not believers in Christ. When death comes they will be eternally separated.
