Nanay

Tuesday night, I was feeling all depressed and tired for no particular reason. I was feeling hollow and sad, and Paul kept saying that I was just probably tired from school. I told him I wasn't, that it was not the kind of fatigue I feel after one whole day in school. It was different. It was something else.

The following morning, Auntie Lin texted to say that Nanay passed away. I told Paul, "that was it. That was why I was feeling all hollow and sad."

Goodbye, Nanay.

I find consolation in the belief that now you are with mommy. Resting. Watching over all of us.
