So today I decided to read your friends' letters to you when you left. They wanted you to take those letters, but I asked them if I could keep it instead, so that I could read them whenever I am missing you and missing them. I have read them a few times since I got them, all the time those letters made me cry. I know some of your friends will not approve of me sharing those letters with you , but I am deeply touched by their love and friendship, and therefore would like to share it with people that read my letters to you. Besides I am not going to say who wrote what, so I guess it will be fine.
There is this letter on a green piece of paper folded into three. And in the middle is written the acronym "JJAKED". It turned out that this was you and your friends initials put together. Inside it says,
" Dear Keith, I know na nagsama tayong dalawa ng isang taon. Alam ko para sa'yo maganda ang pagsasamahan nating 6 magkakaibigan. Maganda rin ang paglalaro natin ng computer at paglaro kung ano pang magandang laro. Keith I'm sorry to say weak ka, magpalakas ka muna sana. Patawarin mo rin ako. Alam kong masaya ka ngayon sa iyong kinalalagyan. Alalahanin mo rin kami ngayon na nasa heaven ka na. Keith we will miss you and your family." - Tropang Samahan JJAKED
Here are the other letters that your friends wrote:
" Dear Keith, we have been friends for two years. At matagal na rin ang pinagsamahan nating magkabarkada. Together with D, E, J, A and me and our other classmates. And Keith, you have always been like a brother to me. And even though you are already dead, even though your life is short, we will never forget you as a friend. Wish you are happy in heaven at sana hindi mo rin kami malimutan (and I hope you will not forget us also). And I'll always pray for you kahit wala ka na." - From your best friend
"Dear Keith, mamimiss namin ikaw kasi matalino ka at tahimik ka sa class. Naging kaibigan kita magmula 1st grade hanggang 5th grade at sorry sa mga ginawa kong masama sa'yo. Hindi namin ikaw makakalimutan. Sana hindi na lang ikaw namatay dahil kailangan ka namin. Ikaw kasi mahal na mahal ka namin lahat pati mga teacher."
(Dear Keith, we will miss you because you are intelligent and quiet in the class. You were my friend from 1st grade until 5th grade, and I'm sorry for all the wrong things that I have done to you. We will never forget you. I wish it wasn't you who died because we need you. Becase you, we all love you even the teachers.)
"Kaibigan, kung nasaan ka man gusto ko malaman mo na mahal na mahal kita. Sa lahat ng naitulong mo sa akin salamat. Thank you rin kasi naging part ka ng buhay ko at buhay naming lahat na nagmamahal sa,yo."
(Friend, wherever you are, I want you to know that I love you very much. For everything that you've done for me, thank you. Thank you also for being a part of my life and all those who love you.)
And here's a letter that really touched my heart. So innocent yet so meaningful.
"Dear Keith, alam mo sana hindi ka na lang namatay. Unfair ka, nangiiwan. Hindi pa nga ako nakakapagsorry sa'yo eh tapos umalis ka na agad. Sorry Keith, sorry. Sana mapatawad mo ako. Sorry Keith. I hope you to be peaceful when you're gonna be "ibuburol". I wish that you could go back to life so that you will have the chance to enjoy your life, your youth, your everything. I wished that the day that you will be my friend would come soon....But you didn't gave me that chance. I wish I was there when you were weak. I wish that our battle was ended when we graduate from Grade III. You were my friend for three years.I wished to God that you would be my friend forever. Oh how I wished to be your friend, crush, best friend. Sana lagi ka na lang andito. Sana hindi ka na lang umalis. Pero kahit ganoon mahal pa rin kita. Andito ka lagi sa puso namin. Maalala ko pa nung dinala niyo ni Aga yung violin niyo. Alam mo kung nasaan ka man, alam ko masaya ka. Sana maalala mo pa yung time na masaya tayong magkakaklase, mahal na mahal ka namin.Huwag mong isipin na nag-iisa ka. Andito kaming lahat karamay mo kami lagi. Hindi ka namin iiwan kahit wala ka na. At kahit wala ka na nananatili kang buhay sa aming mga isipan at mga puso. Mahal na mahal ka namin. Huwag kang mag-alala hinding hindi kami bibitaw sa'yo. Hinding hindi ka namin makakalimutan Keith. Mahal na mahal ka namin. Salamat sa konting oras na nakasama ka namin. Paalam."
(Dear Keith, you know you shouldn't have died. You're unfair for leaving us. I haven't even said sorry and then you left too soon. Sorry Keith, sorry. I hope you can forgive me. Sorry Keith. I hope you to be peaceful at your funeral. I wish that you could go back to life so that you will have the chance to enjoy your life, your youth, your everything. I wished that the day that you will be my friend woud come soon... But you didn't gave me that chance. I wish I was there when you were weak. I wish that our battle was ended when we graduate from Grade II. You were my friend for three years. I wished to God that you would be my friend forever. Oh how I wished to be your friend, crush, best friend. How I wish you're always here. I hope you didn't leave. But I still love you. You're always here in our hearts. I can still remember when you and Aga brought your violin. You know wherever you are, I know you're happy. I hope you still remember those times when we are happy, we love you very much. DOn't think that you're alone. We're always here for you. We will not leave you even if you're no longer here. And even if you're gone, you remain alive in our hearts and in our minds. We love you very much. Don't worry, we will never let you go. We will never forget you Keith. We love you very much. Thank you for the short time that we spent with you. Good bye.)

And I am crying again..... I am crying because I realized that you are such a big loss, and that you were loved by your friends.
I guess this is enough for me to be so proud of you. I know your friends miss you too. But I miss you more. I love so much anak.
