It should be the other way around.
Naawa ako sa great-grand mother ko as she somehow witnessed my aunt’s (sister ng lola ko) passing. My aunt was in a drug-induced sleep tapos while my great-grandmother was watching over her, she noticed my aunt had difficulty breathing. Little did she know na death rattle na pala yun.
It really breaks my heart to think of her rummaging my aunt’s closet, trying to find a dress for her daughter to wear sa funeral. It hurts to think na she had to witness her own daughter die. It never occurred to her na mauna pa yung anak niya, and here she is now trying to bury her daughter. It’s unfair. It shouldn’t be that way. Usually it’s the children who bury their parents, not the fucking way around.
Gusto ko siyang tawagan to tell her how much I love her, how much I miss her. I don’t know what to say. How do I tell her that it’s going to be alright?
How is it going to be alright?
