Dear Nanay:
It was Easter Sunday that you left us.
Evening for you guys in the Philippines, early Sunday morning for us here in North America.
It was so sudden!
Thank God, we were given the grace to see you in the U.S. last June 2023 before you returned to the Philippines for good after being in North America for more than 11 years.
It is so sad that you did not get the chance to visit us here in Canada.
Despite the harsh winter, Canada has a breathtaking beauty and when summer comes around, like now, you will appreciate the brightness of the color of the green grasses, the budding leaves of trees, the yellow gold of the sunshine, the refreshing blue of the skies with the puffy white clouds drifting by more.
Today, we remember your 40 days after your death here on earth.
The dates coincide with the beautiful moments of Easter and Ascension of Our Lord.
I will always honor you for bringing into this world the father of my daughters.
Thank you for all the countless sacrifices you have done for your own brood of 8 and growing number of grandchildren.
Ruel has been having dreams of you and Tatay a lot lately,
He remembers what you whispered into his ear when we surprised you in Fort Lauderdale in the wee hours of the morning....
We will treasure that as well as the trip to the beach, the pool at Tita Rev’s, the harvesting of manggoes, your cooking tirelessly for us and preparing all the pasalubong of atchara, the best!!!!
The girls and I will recreate your wonderful pandesal and spanish bread and atchara soon and will will recount all the love you have sent our way.
Please rest in peace knowing that you have been a wonderful wife to Tatay, loving mom to your 8 children, doting grandma to her apos and inspiring mother in law.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us.
Ni-Anne
