Adoracion de Leon Parungao
October 25, 1949 – February 03, 2007
“But she wasn’t around,
and that’s the thing when your parents die,
you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup,
and maybe, maybe if thinking about it won’t hurt as much anymore
and writing about it won’t bring as much tears as it does
and maybe, maybe if growing older meant a better ability to cope
and if the passing of time will erase the pain
and fill the void…
maybe, i’ll just cheer myself with the thought
that you were looking down on us,
and saw my little boy,
and you smiled…

That is just lovely… I'm blessed to still have my mom beside me, though we never know when and who is going to pass away first. It's just important that we are all prepared and accept that death is a matter-of-fact thing…
