It was exam week when I arrived at Popoo Garcia, Bohol and had not taken any of my exams yet. I stood near the coffin not knowing on how to react. Seeing my cousins and aunts laughing like nobody died made my tears go back to where it belongs. I mean, I was about to cry but on my mind, “let Lola rest in peace. She’s too old to wait for your thanksgiving.” Everybody seems to be happy though. I hugged everybody especially my Lolo whom I missed so much. Everybody was just laughing, fooling around, playing with cards and chitchatting just like the usual days during family get together not until February 6 came; the last viewing of Lola’s body where everybody shed their tears. I was just watching them since I was the one holding the laptop being used for the video recording not until my Lolo cried leaning into my Lola’s coffin. That time I want to shout at my Lolo to stop crying since I knew he’s weak and something might happen to him. I was at my negative thoughts that day and I wished time runs fast at that moment so that everybody would go back to its normal mood. It hurts seeing my Lolo crying. It’s like I pity him because I am sure enough he’ll super missed Lola the most. I was holding my sleeping baby Raeka while my tears fell down, as if it won’t stop. I tried my best to stay strong but everybody is on the sad mood and I can’t help my tears to fall hearing screams and cries. This is how it feels loosing someone special whom you have missed a lot. We’ve been apart for several years and still can remember how our Lola cares for us. I can still remember Lola telling me to eat fast so that I will gain weight then I would reply to her, “parehas ra ta La oy, sexy.” Then she would smile back at me and tell again that I should eat fast. I LOVE YOU LA! Thank you for giving Mama into my life. Thank you for giving me super beautiful Mom and to the highest level kindness. We will forever treasure you and we will forever bear in our minds the wisdom that you have shared.
