A year ago today at 4 :19 AM my little girl Risa Kitamura was born. She was taken from my not-so-comfy womb at week 30 and 3-day due to pregnancy complication Total Placenta Previa. 

I remember I felt a huge gush bleeding. The blood was all over the bed before the nurse even reach my door room at the hospital.

It was crazy. I will always remember it. The very last night I carry my baby in my belly. I don’t think I’m able to have a baby again since my husband’s now gone. And I don’t intend to remarriage.  My life now is all about Risa. She is all I have now.

A year has passed. Risa is one year old now. It is extremely unfortunate that her father will not be able to watch her grow. But I believe he’s watching us from up there. 

I missed him terribly every second, minute and every single day. The memories of him flashed back every minutes and every day. It’s a dreadful feeling but I have to live with it for the rest of my life. Which is so painful.

Risa is growing. She now can claps her hands but not walking yet. She loves to laugh and smile a lot! I guess she inherited that from me :)

Anyway a friend will be coming over tomorrow. SIL and Niece are here to celebrate Risa’s birthday. Even though Risa’s father won’t be here with us but I know that we, Risa and I are blessed in so many ways. And I believe that someday we will be together again. Reunited with her father.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING RISA!
You are the best thing in my life. My precious little girl. We love you so very very much!

I’ve been crying every day ever since he left. It just hurt so bad. I miss his voice calling out my name. I miss talking and laughing with him. I miss going out to dinner, shop and travel with him. God I miss everything about him. Dear God why did you take him away from us. We needed him and you took him away. It’s not fair. Why can’t I live normally just like most people do.

All I wanted is to have a normal life. Ever since I was born my life has been always out of ordinary. I wanted my daughter to live the life I couldn’t get to live but she ended up the same like me. She will never be able feel how is it like to be loved by her father. I’m scared that someday she will ask about her father and I don’t know if I can answer all of her questions. It’s not going to be easy for me raising her all by myself. But I have to and I must. I hope I can be there for my little daughter in every step of the way. Until my time come.

It’s been over a week since my husband passed away. To be honest I really don’t know how I feel at the moment.
I still can’t believe that he is gone now, gone forever. And I will be missing him every single day for the rest of my life.
We were together for eleven years, married for ten years. He was my soulmate, best friend ever and best husband I could ever have. He spoiled me and took care of me. He gave me everything he got. The best gift he ever gave me was Risa and she is all I have now.

He died last Saturday on 8 January at 8:07 PM. I was there watching him dying. His breathing was fast at first and then it gotten weaker and weaker. I talked to him, even though I know that he couldn’t talk but I know that he knows and listening to me and Risa’s babbling
Watching him die was one of the hardest thing in my life. But Risa made everything seems possible and easier. She would smile every time I start to cry. And there I stop crying and smiling back at her.

Now everything is only a memory. One thing for sure, memory will never die. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and uncle.
I need to start writing a diary for Risa. So that one day I will tell her everything about her father. From his favorite books, meals, hobbies and everything I know about her father.

I have some many unanswered questions to God. People keep saying that everything happens for a reason and just let God do his work.
Still I keep questing myself, why me, why Risa. It’s not like we’ve done a terrible thing in the past. I just don’t understand why he took him away from us. He was my home and happiness. Now that he’s gone, I feel homeless and have nowhere to go even though he left us with a house and everything we needed.

Anyway, SIL is helping me out with everything. From paper works to house cleaning etc.
Naoya’s friends and colleagues are also helping me out with insurances. I hope I can stay strong and move on with my new life.

This is the last picture of Naoya and his daughter. Taken a few days before he passed away.
