A Merry Christmas to you, Daddy and Mommy

Dad and Mom’s tombstone

It is our first Christmas as full-fledged orphans. Mommy died in April 26 of this year while Daddy passed away in 2004. It was but fitting that we spend Christmas Eve at their resting place at the Forest Lake San Carlos Memorial Park.  So for just this one time, I want to veer away from the usual pictorial “reports” I feed in this blog and instead, post this one picture I took that night… hoping that it relays to the reader the emotions of spending Christmas when some loved one is not there anymore to spend it with.
Merry Christmas Daddy and Mommy. Don’t worry about us anymore. The kids are fine. God is good to us. We just miss you so much. But other than that, we’re great! Always remember that we love you.

    nakakaiyak naman, friend! i remember tuloy our first christmas without my papa. he died oct 3, 1976. i was still in high school at that time. we spent the christmas eve on a round table with my mama, brothers and sisters but nobody dared to eat. we just cried and cried and consoled each other.

    i know how it feels, friend. anyway, let’s just think that they are just there watching us and wherever they are, i know that they are very much happy of what we become now.

    happy new year friend!
