cha nena (tita nena), the one who requested to have pizza hut as our venue was having good times with her apos, elmo faye and fiel. |
I had this FB post on July 18, 2012;
today is a good excuse to be sad and be sentimental.
I live with few regrets. Mas madali na akong pakatanhin in public ngayon. It is not as hard when we were young and had to be pushed to perform on my mother’s birthday celebrations.
My FB post on August 4, 2012;
one proof that time changed - there are more dates to observe: birthdays of kids in the family, wedding anniversary, date employed (para pambilang ng years of service) and death of mom and dad...
mga apo, sa death anniversary ni Lola Fe |
I remember asking mommy, did she have her debut party. She said she didn't because of the typhoon and heavy rains. Evidently, we were not able to do one fine way to observe birthday or death anniversary of a departed person, which is to light candle on one's grave.
For this year we had to settle celebrating her birthday at home and death anniversary at Pizza Hut (bonggang bonggang special request of my tita). Basically, the essence of those is to remind us - family, especially brothers and sister, what keeps us together. This is despite having families of our own.
