Losing someone you love is one of the most difficult parts of being a human.
It can be overwhelming and traumatic, but what stays are the precious memories we have of them and the things they left behind.
A daughter named Alyssa Mendoza recently shared a story that captured the hearts of people online. Ten months after her father passed away, she has received an email that contains instructions on how to throw a 25th wedding anniversary party for her mom.
In an interview with Bored Panda, she received: “I was scared. Who wouldn’t be when you receive an email from someone who passed away several months ago but when I read it, my heart melted and it reminded me of how pure my parents’ love was.”
Before her father’s death, he was severely ill. Alyssa told Bored Panda that her father was suffering from chronic kidney disease.
“After months of fighting and being in and out of the hospital, he lost the battle 2 days after my mom’s birthday and 2 days before mine. Yes because he was aware that at the time, he would have instances when he would be delirious and totally out of it,” she expressed.
Afraid he wouldn’t be there to celebrate their 25th anniversary, the father scheduled an email to be sent to Alyssa weeks before the special date.
“She was completely shocked.point 134 | I also showed her the email which made her more emotional because it included a letter from my dad as well.point 221 |
My mom has been anxious for weeks cos she’s been dreading their anniversary cos its the first without him but upon reading the letter, she felt better because the letter contained everything she needed to hear from my dad to feel okay,” Alyssa added.point 211 | 1
When Bored Panda asked how Alyssa would describe their relationship, she answered: “Two words: pure and intense. They were as perfect as a couple could get. Yes, there were disagreements but they never let anything get in the way of their love for each other and for me of course.”
Alyssa’s dad loved to surprise his wife whenever he had the chance. “He was thoughtful even on a random day. He didn’t just make efforts on special occasions. He would randomly surprise my mom and me on the most unexpected days in the most unexpected ways.”
