It's sad but life must go on.
For the past months I have been dreaming of my teeth falling off twice. I don't know if some of you know or believe but whenever I dream of my teeth falling off, someone in my relatives will die (tinuhuan sa boktot). Distant or within. So when I had the dream I was fricking out. I called mama and she told me to pray. Nanay had been having a rough time lately and honestly I was really sad that if something happen to her I might not see her again. In the other hand, Manoy Gayfred also had the same dream.
When we were at Lanie's house last week, I had a hard time opening my yahoo messenger. I even complained about it to Lanie (remember that Lan?). Mama and Resty seldom email me but they usually leave a ym for me. When I can't open yahoo messenger I was beginning to worry. I don't know why. Now I know why, if I open it, I will know that someone died and He doesn't want to spoil our togetherness. That very same day my lolo's brother died. His wife already died in 2002. This was when Ryan was there to visit me. It was the first time he witnessed a funeral in the Philippines.
The same day lolo was buried, my cousin also died. She is only 17, left 3 children behind. The youngest is only a month old. She stayed with us during her elementary years. We sent her to school because her parents could not afford to send them to school. They are 13 in the family. She had her first baby when she was 13, young isn't it? She had broncitis. Ryan said it is curable pero alam mo na walang pera. I heard the live-in partner ( live-in kasi below 18 pa) hords the money. July 25th they took her to the hospital because she can't barely breath but she wasn't able to reach the hospital, she died. Now they are left with who will take care of the three children.
Ang buhay nga naman ano? You'll never know who is next.
