A Kandid Little Korner

After months of keeping silent, I’m here again. I just want to start by backtracking what kept me and my loved ones busy these past few months why I haven’t been able to post here.

My younger sister and her long time boyfriend got married last March 21.

16 April my mama passed away between 6-7pm. It was a life-changing experience for us. Our lives, our routines were not as they were. Some of us moved on from one place to another. A change so imposing that some of us are fearful and uncomfortable. I made an almost-detailed account of what mama endured in her last hours but never posted it. I don’t know, though it’s kind of a “history” this time I really have this feeling that I have to post it for whom and why, I can’t tell. Balloons were set free on the afternoon of April 21 as we laid our dearest Mama in her resting place. Let go and move on.

My Papa moved from his house, he bought around early 1970s and he lived there since, to my house which is a 15-minute walk from his. My 12-year old niece whom mama raised and a certified Lola’s girl moved with her mother and enrolled for high school in Cavite. QT, my younger sister, very much pregnant, went back to Manila to continue working but planned to go back and going to manage their small business. My brother kept himself busy by getting a work in a small company.

Teischa and I moved here in Australia to be with her Dad.

My family and I are looking forward to a brighter life ahead. A family less one but strong and happy.

We each take our turn-around spin with grace and unwavering respect to each other.

This is a new life. A new beginning. A new hope.
