“Sunrise, sunset... Sunrise, sunset... Swiftly, flow the years.
One season following another, laden with happiness and tears.” i
Just barely a month from the time of dear Nerisa’s passing away,
All Saint’s Day, All Soul’s Day, then your time on Nov. 4, a Sunday.
Mama-Lola Nena, who, like a child spritely revels in her zest for life,
Refused to go with Nerisa when fetched, terminal illness in spite!
She wants to live on for her dear Rani and Redelsa and her grandchildren.
Being with them in growth and travel; Ah, she considers simply HEAVEN!
For Migara, it is overcoming our weaknesses towards immortality.
For AB, Kuya Migara’s rare hug and smile is already so heavenly!
For Mommy, amidst pain and suffering Lola’s sweet smile in peace.
For Papa, winning cases for the oppressed crying out for justice!
In this valley of tears, all these joys are but heavenly glimpses.
But for Mama-Lola, Heaven now, is full communion with Jesus!
Epilogue:
For love of life despite her agony, Mama-Lola refused to go when Nerisa fetched her.
But after holy communion on Sunday, she peacefully went with Jesus to her Creator.
