I just found out today that my Aunt Dolly died due to several complications. My distant relative whom I haven’t talked to suddenly asked as to where my aunt was, that made me suddenly worried. Mommy dolly had been sick for a while so I instantly knew something happened. Last year almost half the siblings of my dad came to Cebu just to have her confined. Amazing how a family would come together in a crises.i guess she felt so loved that she got better.
sometime this year her illness recurred so the family was planning to send her to Cebu to have her confined again. But she did not make it …
Though we quite lived in isolation from my dad’s side of the family and I hardly have memories of her. I still felt sad… I only remember that when I was a kid I got freaked out on how many bruises she had yet still loved her since she made very delicious muffins. I always looked forward to her visits as she used to hand me tiny chocolate colored tablets not knowing in the coming years I would be drinking that same Vitamin A.
She had been sick for a while, even as a kid so she had always contained herself in their house. the sisters worried about her too much and always thinks of her well being and her future. Thus when she got sick you can imagine the concern in all of her siblings.
I always thought that if you die single you’ll pass this life never remembered and too lonely. She wasn’t, she was surrounded with too much love and that kept her going. Now that she’s gone, I know she will be bringing with her love from the family who will mourn her passing. Strange how I never had close relationship with her but I still cried when I found out. I’ll pray for her soul and ask god to now take care of her. She will forever be loved and remembered not only by her siblings but also by her nieces who constantly prayed for her and from a distance loved her.
my condolences lao.
