November 2013

Why, it's practically Christmas!  

Now don't pfft pfft me...you'll not hear from me anymore because heck yeah! It IS Christmas! 

Last Friday, my friend's father, passed away. Despite all the years he had been threatening to pass away, it still was a very sad time even for me when he finally did.  No one can ever be prepared to say goodbye to someone dear no matter how you try to convince yourself that he is in a better place or that he is finally at rest or he is finally free of all the pain and suffering.  I tell Kayla whenever I can to not be so sad when I pass away.  She gave me enough happiness and sadness to last me the lifetime that I was due.  No regrets.  


A lady who can see spirits was in the wake and she finally gave the messages that Tito asked her to deliver when he pleaded.  I wish he was more specific in his message to me.  LOL.


I was very touched by how the children showed how much they appreciated the service of their father's yaya of 23 years. Her loyalty is really commendable and his children showed her that she was not a mere servant but truly a part of their family.  She will take care of the fur babies that Tito left behind.


I attended mass each day of the wake... more than all the masses I've attended in 20 years! The responses are different.  Weird.  The priest said we start to die the moment we are born so live life to the fullest in God's grace. 


Does that translate to YOLO?
