a tribute..

I should have posted these months ago, but for what reasons - I cannot seem to.. first, the blog page came in all arabic! and second, i get emotional just with the thought.. this is a tribute to a loved one who passed away...


to Auntie Cely... may she rest in peace...


difficult as it is to accept her sudden death.. i will have too - that she may be in peace.. i know she is at peace now... She would have turned 80 years old last Jan. 31st .. we were planning on celebrating it with the family - to be a reunion of sort, but then death tragically snatched her from us on the morning of 23rd october 2007.

God saw that she doesn't deserved the pain that she would be going through and He gave her rest...

Auntie Cely - second mother to me and my siblings, a loving, caring, forgiving and a selfless person. Me and my sister, we are where we are now because of her and for that we will forever be very grateful... words will not be enough to express our deepest appreciation of all the love and care she has given us; for all hardships she has gone through, and the sacrifices she has done for us.

MARAMING SALAMAT Auntie, sa pagmamahal mo, pag-aaruga at pagkalinga sa amin... sa mga sakripisyo mo para maitaguyod kami, lalo na sa aming pag-aaral.... maraming salamat....

Lagi ka sa aming mga puso, hindi ka namin malilimutan... - pipilitin ko ang puso kong mapatawad ang taong may sanhi nang maaga mong pagpanaw.

Magpahinga ka na, Auntie Cely.
