From the recent events happening in Libya, and continuous updates through texts from my Nanay, I can’t help but feel worried about my Tatay. He’s our very dear uncle whom I’ve always looked up to. He’d been the father that my dad never was. From the last update, Nanay sent me sms that Tatay is already safe and away from the danger in Libya. I don’t know how far or near he is from where he stays and sometimes or most of the times, news doesn’t give specific details. But it was a big relief when I learned that he and other fellow kababayans are in Malta now. Last night, I dreamt about Tatay. He was not alive and a friend was the one continually texting Nanay pretending to be Tatay as requested by him. It was not as vivid as any other dreams but the “thud” on my heart was still there when I woke up. I prayed intently to God that He won’t take another love from our life. Sometimes, it’s best to dream about these kind of things because you were given a chance to pray for them that they’ll be safe. Unlike with baby nathan where we didn’t have any clue that he will be taken away from us. Tatay is now only waiting for a ticket, apparently from the philippine government so they can go home but after 3 days, still nothing. I hope he will be able to go home sooner.
