If you were given the chance to have a superpower, what would you like it to be? Top answers: (1) flying (2) read others' minds (3) X-ray vision (4) invincibility (5) dashing speed. Have you ever thought about having the power to raise someone from death? Well, today, I had.
It might be devilish or creepy as it sounds but I have actually thought about Lazarus (the biblical character whom Jesus rose from the dead) first. My thinking was more of raising someone whom you really love and spend even just one more day with them. Luckily, I have 4 to spend a morning with.
Until now, I am still amazed how they were so meant to be that their birthdays and wedding anniversary ended up on a same date- 18th of November. From the stories I heard, she was fancy and he was classic, she was intelligent and he was brilliant, she was hard to get and he was determined, she was complex and he was simple, she was a goddess and he was a heart rob, and they were a couple. I am lucky that I have them as the mom and dad of my mother. They both did a great job as parents but I can testify that they were excellent as grandparents. Lolo Sim has always been my team Alaska buddy and was a joker in his own way. I even remember, pride aside, I was asked to borrow money from him for our market needs and over the phone he joked he would send it via his helicopter. I don't know how old I was then but it left me crying at the end of the other line without letting him notice it. He was always this caring and thoughtful lolo I've known. Lola Pheya was a beauty icon for me. Looking at her old-young pictures would let me wish that may beauty grow old with me too. She never ceased to recognise my oval shaped face as a perfect one. We moved in to their home, when lolo took the glorious trip a little bit earlier, to take care of her but instead she managed to embrace us.
Lolo Sim and Lola Pheya, the first two angels whom we all believed shone the brightest stars. We'll always see the sun come shinning through and find that life is still worthwhile. That's what you have taught us.
Adding to my fascination of how things just fell into place, my father's dad was also born on November 18. He was a pioneer of agriculture in UP Los Baños so I am still confused why a farmer was labeled a cowboy. I searched up about cowboys and it said they are a culture with work ethics, they are not big talkers, they work not for money but to make things better, they have an intimate relationship with their lands and plains. I bet Lolo Teroy wasn't only defined by the work he did but to as how he carried his self just like a cowboy. He is indeed a man to look up to, a man that even we, his grandchildren, would like to grow old with. And I don't what's the thing about grand dads but I think they must have been clowns in their past life for Lolo Teroy also has this humor which he keeps simply slipping to our bones.
I'm not being superstitious but were you trying to tell me something when I can't unlock your gates earlier or I just didn't know how to turn and click the key? Whatever it is, I felt awful not to take in the flowers for you but what's important is that somehow, I felt closer to you today. I will always take the chance to see your contagious smile once more.
To be a family doesn't mean you have to be blood related. Sometimes you can find one in your circle of friends. You and I can be barely considered as childhood friends for we don't even say hi even if we were in the same classroom for almost half of our young years. But there was like an instant and fast click between us and before we knew it, we were inseparable. I don't know what was that but I am just thankful that it happened. You were like the big sister that I never had. I have no secret to hide from you and you've let me know you transparently too.
You were my last stop this morning and it felt like I would like to spend the rest of the day with you. As I was approaching where you lie, I can't help the excitement I am feeling to be next to you again. I have been talking, sharing and it felt just right because I knew you were listening. And by the time I hopped and went behind the wheel, I fell into an empty emotion and it went deeper as I was slowly driving away. So I hit the brake, shifted to reverse not wanting to regret and wish I should've stayed longer. How long was that? I'm not certain but what I do know is it was just silence and sobbing. I realised how much I miss you and even though I know that the battle has won, I still wish you were here, Eget.
