Yesterday was our monthly meal fellowship at church. We had a wonderful time chatting with Tatang Bob and Manang Barbara (a couple who has been in mission work here in the Philippines before Martial Law). They are very nice couple and I love them. I also got to see Ate Rose Shady. She’s one of the young people during our time and she was the most noisy and bubbly. Well after 4 years since I last saw her, nothing has really changed. LOL And oh there’s Mama Sophie too!!!! She’s my friend’s mom who was soooo nice to me and Donald too. She is our godmother during our wedding but she wasn’t able to come. The last time I saw her was when I went to Cotabato City to work on some papers for Mamang’s death. The NSO office is just beside their home so I dropped by and said hi, spent an hour chatting with her and her husband whom I also call Papa David.
But even if it was so good to see her again here, the reason why she’s here is not good. Her sister, Tita Day, was diagnosed of cancer. I talked to Tita Day the other Sunday and she said she felt a little lump on her right cheek that got bigger as time passes by. It’s already stage 3 but I admire her for her strength and humor. Donald was taking photos and he called her to join the group to which she quickly replied, “Sige para may remembrance kayo sa akin.” (Okay so you will have a remembrance of me).
