get well soon...

my father-in-law got into an accident yesterday.. he was attempting to reach the blinds to replace the curtains on the front lawn-veranda, when he tripped on the improvised ladder and fell out of balance.

his femur joints and pelvic bones were seriously fractured, thus, preventing him to walk. he was rushed immediately to the hospital amidst his protest; he vehemently assured us that he is okay, but when we see him grimaced t the unbearable pain he is feeling, we know that he is only trying to control himself so we won't pity him...

i actually admire my father-in-law's courage to stay calm when on a tough and critical condition. his wife, my mom-in-law, mama zeny, was always in tears. she can't eat, drink, sleep, nor even sit properly because she's always worried about papa.. i noticed that she no longer even smiles anymore.. we hoped to cheer them up so marc and i brought our kids to the hospital, but even the sight of Kyle & Kian did not make mama smile a bit.. she really IS worried..

i told mama not to think about papa so much because he is doing well and that God is beside him always.. i asked her not to skip meals and to sleep more.. but still, she insisted on watching over papa until he recovers..

next week, papa would undergo a major operation, replacing his fractured bones with metal implants and screws.. right now, we're all praying for papa's successful operation and full recovery..

Get Well Soon, Papa..
