The saddest time of my life..

I just arrived back here in Yaounde last night from Philippines, the memory of my father is still in my mind and I cant help but cry but in the other end I manage to smile thinking that Im coming home to my loving husband and sweet Claire..
I left Yaounde Sept 13 and went home to take care of my father who is still in the hospital and comatose that time.. He passed away 5 days after I arrived..Im having trouble getting over it..that was the hardest, saddest time of my life..Being the eldest in the family I took care of evrything from the hospital,burial to the interment. Im so greatful to have a husband who stand by me all the way emotionally an finacially in my crucial monemt.. I miss my father so much..I have plans and dreams for him but that was all gone now..may he rest in peace with the Lord.
Im so grateful and thankful to the people who helped me out on getting my tix and getting me out of here quickly...espescially Kevan and Mac and Anna, and Emmanuel from the travel office. My EVT was approved as soon as the USE Manila confirmed my dad situation in the hospital. I'm also thankful to everyone who supported Jeff and Claire while I was gone...special thanks to Kevan and Kate, and Steve. Claire and Jeff really enjoyed spending time with you guys and your kids!
