finally at rest.
today was my aunt’s funeral. the first funeral i’ve ever been too.
every time i saw my cousins or my other aunties or my uncle cry
it was a punch in the heart and i would just tear up as well.
and when my auntie connie was finally going to lay at rest,
my grandma cried so hard and yelled out her name as the
casket was lowering. that struck me so hard and flashed back
so many family memories & my auntie’s soft voice and laugh.
but it was nice. i saw family i haven’t seen in a while, and i
saw my kuya’s ex girlfriend which i was sort of close to
and the family definitely misses her.
imagine being 25 and to never think you’d be struck by cancer.
and when you’re in your late 50’s your body gets obtained by
such a dreaded unexpected disease.
my family will stay strong for her.
Rest In Peace
