She needs to go home and pack, her flights is due in 3 hours time. He was lying there, helplessly on the hospital bed. Unwilling to let her go, his precious princess. It seems like yesterday that she took her first step. Here she is now, all grown up, into a fine lady. All ready to spread her wings into the big big world out there.
His illness had started a long time back, and it had deteriorate over the years. With the doctors hand held tight, there isn't much left that they can do. Only God knows how and when. But yet, the family hopes and pray for the best.
"Daddy, I need to go now" she said, breaking his thoughts. He was holding her hand, tightly. Tears slowly well up in his eyes, so were hers. "You will see her again soon", the mother said. Slowly, unwillingly he let her hand go. Looking at her as though this is going to be the last time that they are going to see each other. It was.
