Thank You for a Lighter Day

I phoned home this morning and spoke to Mama and Inang. It seems like everything is good again now. Mama and I just laughed about what happened. Then I spoke to Inang and we talked about memories with you. The first thing that we talked about was when Inang took you and your Adings to Iba last December. Apparently you were eating and Inang said, "Inilipad na ng hangin yung 1,500 ko". You apparently jokingly asked her, "Asan Inang?" and then you looked up the ceiling and laughed. Inang told me that she misses you so much, especially the way you used to tease her. She also proudly remembers when she asked you if you would look after her when she gets old and if you would wash her bottom. Without second thoughts, you assured her you would. Inang will forever be proud of you for your willingness to wash her bottom when she no longer can. :)

Then we talked about your house. It's almost finished. I know you'll be glad to know that. Inang remembered when you were telling them you would like to have your own house. According to her, you were telling Ading Linus not to spend so much money and to save instead so you could buy nails to build your house. That was really sweet of you. Hayyy, we're missing you loads.

Before I end this letter, I would like to apologize for what I have written in the last two days. I was just so upset that things were not right. You know when you're grieving you can only take so much. Grieving alone is a challenge. Anything on top of that is beyond unfair. Any grieving person should not face any more trials until they have properly grieved, or should not be given any more trials at all. I know this is impossible, but if God is listening He should at least consider. I know I am talking rubbish, but it's just not fair.

But as I said, I feel lighter today that I was able to speak to Mama and I am happy to know that she's okay. I was not able to chat with her and Papa this afternoon because I had to go out to meet up with a friend. But tomorrow is Friday, so it's skype day!

I know you're okay where you are. Please look upon us especially your Adings. Anak, will you thank God for me for making things better please? And thank you also for always being there for us.

We miss you so much and we will love you forever.
