His journey ended but will always be in my memory

My Dad passed away on Boxing Day morning.  He had been ill since Oct 2011.  Managed to discharge him home for 9 days after more than 2 months of stay at the hospital.  I took time off work to help the maid to care for him at home.  And I am glad that I did so.  However it was also very painful to see him suffer.  He was sent back to the hospital after having persistent fever.  And he left us on Boxing Day morning in his sleep but none of us was at his bedside when he passed on.  He was already gone when the nurses check on him.  We did not have a chance to say bye to him but I guess he also don't want to bother us. 

It has been a week since the funeral but I am still having difficulties coping.   I will just tear when I think abt him and I really can't sleep at night.  I am not sure how I am going to manage from now on.  But I will always remember him...
