My brother, my sisters and I sat around the hospital bed where our father was, some hours ago and still was, but not… the loving heart; not beating, the mighty lunges; not breathing, the beautiful blue eyes shut, the fingers of the hands that held us all, lay unclasped but still warm. As if he was taking his regular afternoon nap, when we his children tipped toed around the house, not to disturb his sleep. Now we were just as quiet as then, circling around with just as much love for the man that rested between us. Blurred last images recording, through our tear filled eyes. Some holding on to his hands, some his feet, gently not to disturb him from his path towards the light that took him in and away from us. June 8th 2014 we stood there as we lost our Abu!
