Auntie Wida

Auntie wida was my closest Aunt, my mother's younger sister ( of the same passed away unexpectedly during my holiday in the Philippines 2011.This was the photo when she was younger. I'd planned to visit this Aunt after many years I haven't seen her, as she's living far off my reach,even during my holidays in the Philippines. It requires special trip to see her, so I did consider making a journey to visit her. Sadly, she passed away before I could see her alive.

 

I must have said this before, that it was many months I planned my trip , then change my time schedule and three months running into my journey ,I just felt real intensity of emptiness and void, I couldn't understand it that time, some strange atmosphere of unhappiness, feeling not excited for my trip when I should.

I shared this to few friends and family. Then came the day before my flight, I received a call from my sister-

my Aunt died. Whoa, it was tragic death. Then two weeks later it was my mother who passed away unexpected too. I would say the Lord gave me such warnings ,I just didn't get it at that time, if only I knew ahead of time what it was. But at least I was there at my Aunt's funeral and was able to serve my mother on her last days during my holiday time. I never knew it would all happen on that trip.
