anytime

while i was listening to music earlier, my dad said he feels sad. This is not the first time we got to talk about this, but this is the most recent account I can remember.

Dad: nalulungkot ako.
Karen: bakit naman?
I asked even if he tells me the same things over and over again.
Dad: wala, sa sitwasyon natin. Anong mangyayari sa inyo 'pag wala na 'ko?
Karen: Eh bakit mo ba pinoproblema 'yun? Hindi naman kami pababayaan ni Lord, at hindi rin kami magpapabaya.

*a little while later*

Dad: Anytime, karen, anytime pwede akong kunin.
Karen: As long as you're at peace with Him, daddy, there's nothing to fear.
Dad: prepared naman ako, eh.
Karen: Exactly. I've been asking Him to assure you a place in Heaven, so there's nothing to fear.

And then he went back to reading the gospel, trying to get to know more about Him before they finally meet.

Karen: Dad, bakit sinasabi mong anytime?

I asked because as of this moment we haven't told him about the 2 months. I asked to see what he knows.

Dad: dahil meron na sa lungs. ayoko na lang pag-usapan.

But of course, who are we to fool him. He should know, he's not a lung specialist for nothing.
