Dear Mama,
It had been a while since I wrote to you. Consecutive matters are keeping my hands busy.
Last Tuesday, I, together w a few of my friends went to visit you. I’ve been wanting to go there since forever but cheerleading practices are impeding me to do so when I got that chance, I promptly embraced it. I bought white roses & placed it in your tomb. I took a short moment to talk...

Dear Mama,
I’m sorry for not being able to write for quite a long time. I was just pre-occupied with stuffs and the recent semestral break had been brief and I just sink into the oblivion of resting.
On your 40 days last October 31, Tita Josie whipped up a looooot of Maja Blancas. The entire kitchen was teeming! Lola also cooked sopas and of course, the whole family came by. Before the...
I love you and I miss you.

Dear Mama,
Exams finally ended yesterday. I had a hard time with our Chemistry and Geometry exams but I did the best that I can. I hope you’ll help to overcome all of these. I’m unsure if I was still able to keep my honors. I’m sorry Mama. Things are just rather perplexing.
Tomorrow, will be praying for your soul in lieu of your 40 days. I can’t believe how time went by...

I was going through my sent folder @ Yahoo! searching for this certain file I forwarded to Aikko a few months ago. I came across an e-mail that I sent you last May as a mother’s day gift. I’ve written a poem then and of course, ineluctably, I can’t help but to be saddened.
I just miss you so much you know.

God's Garden Must Be Beautiful
Dearest Mama,
I dreamt of you last night. It was not that vivid but I do recall that you were about to leave for Jeddah again. I was crying as I always do but moreover because I already know that there’s not much time left for us to spend together. I woke up and I guess, I wallowed by the melancholy and pain that was incarcerated in my brimming chest all this time since your demise. I cried...
Dearest Mama,
I am so sorry for not writing to you for a few days. It’s just that I was figuratively chasing my missed lessons in school. Honestly, I was having a hard time doing so for the first two days. I felt totally dumb for not being ameliorated with everything they talk about inside the four corners of the room. But with my perseverance cohered with willpower and motivation, I pretty...
Dearest Mama,
As of this writing, I am happy. Not neccessarily much, but yes, I am happy. You really make wonders Mama. Perhaps you’re feeling the length of my hair up there in heaven. Hahaha. :)
I am chatting with Saleh right now. He’s talking about meeting with me soon and perhaps to see your tomb as well. Remember when he’s planning to go here in Manila then? I wish he...
Dearest Mama,
Last night, Ate Rhoan cam rummaging amidst the drizzle ‘cuz once again, she ran away from home. Haha. Can you belive GQ and her dad? They were arguing yet again. Ate Rhoan told me she and Kuya were just talking about random stuffs that consequently led to her dad’s inevitable toyo. I am so glad you weren’t like that Mama. You loved me to bits. I know it and you...

Dearest Mama,
Yesterday, in contradiction of my initial sloth to proceed, I still attended the first day of the novena in our school. People were astonished to see me. Perhaps they weren’t expecting to see me ready and afloat after everything that happened. I myself don’t know where did I get the courage and energy to do so as well. Two weeks ago back in the hospital when you were...

Dearest Mama,
I just finished chatting with Ate Rhea and Ate Grace. We talked about random stuffs like the usual. She said that she’s planning to go home again this October and maybe start arranging both of our U.S. visas. Sayang Ma. We weren’t able to go to my dreamland together. I hope one day when I finally go there, you’ll be with me as my guardian angel. :)
So like I told...

After Nine Days
My dearest Mama,
Today is the ninth day since you passed away. Honestly, it still hadn’t sunk in my senses. I hadn’t been able to reflect alone in that span of time. The whole family’s getting me busy but at the end of the day, I couldn’t help but to still shed a tear or two while I stare at your photo lying beside my bed. Your interment yesterday was indeed melancholic. I...
