It's now been almost a year since the last time I saw you. It was around Holy Week, but a little bit later than this year. I was looking at our photos and now I feel sad because I am missing you more. How come you didn't tell me then that you were going to leave me soon? If I only knew, I wouldn't have left your side even for a day. It may not have changed the way things happened, but at least I could have spent more time with you. No wonder why Inang was not happy that I was only there for a couple of weeks. Actually, maybe you have given us signs but we just ignored it. Hay anak, it's really hard not to think about you. Anywhere I look at, there's always something that reminds me of you. But these times are really the hardest times. How I wish you've never left us. I miss you so badly.
I called Mama this morning. She and Ading Kika were hanging out sa kalbaryo. Ading Linus was at Tito JL's and Inang was in the church. Tatang was still in the farm, or maybe drinking with his friends sa daya again.
Oh, Mama just told me that the bike that was stolen was the same bike that you had when you were seven. Yes, the one in the photo that I posted yesterday. Sayang ano? It's funny how Ading Linus apparently described the person who took it. He said the boy was wearing an orange top, blue jeans, a white baseball cap and nike shoes just like you. Then he also said that he was chubby, but couldn't see his face. So Mama told him that it could be you. But Ading said no. Haha.
Anyway, here are some of the photos from last year:
I have noticed that you always had your hand on Ading Linus's shoulder when you were walking beside him. Bakit kaya?
Hand On My Shoulder
There's a hand a hand on my shoulder
Through the storm however it blows
There's a hand a hand on my shoulder
Stays with me where ever I go.
Clouds fade even on a bad day
Even when the bow breaks in the wind
And love stays even when men cry
Fall apart and die in the end
It's the lamp that tears the night
With a spark of heaven's light
Never leaves me on my own
Through the storm however it blows
There's a hand a hand on my shoulder
Stays with me where ever I go.
Clouds fade even on a bad day
Even when the bow breaks in the wind
And love stays even when men cry
Fall apart and die in the end
It's the lamp that tears the night
With a spark of heaven's light
Never leaves me on my own
When darkness hides the light of day
My God Is there to point the way
The arm that holds me through the night
And leads me on into the light
My God Is there to point the way
The arm that holds me through the night
And leads me on into the light

I love you anak. Please visit me so that I can hug and kiss you. I miss you so much already.
