The pain still kills us all.

Just so you know, my great aunt, Mommy La (from this entry), passed away last October 20th, around 1 PM. I was at work when my cousin SMS-ed me.

Cholo: Alam mo na ba ang balita?

Me: Fuck. Ano?

Cholo: Pina-process na ni San Pedro papers ni Mamila.

It didn't occur to me that she's already gone that time. I just thought that she's having a hard time, as always, breathing or eating or suffering from her illness... But she's not. When I got off from work and headed to her place, the gates were fully opened and the place was so bright. Everybody was there.

My great-aunt, Mommy La, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer stage 3D two weeks ago. When she told me and my sister about it, we just couldn't help but cry. She's one of my favorite persons. And I hate knowing that she's sick. She's just in her early 50s. :-( Her chemo will start next week, I guess. And I don't think I can take seeing her losing her hair. I know she will get pass through this. She's one strong woman.

I love you, Mommy! You're going to be in my prayers, always.
