Sad

Today is the first day of the nine-day novena mass for the first death anniversary of our dearest Dad, Mama Tit (aunt) and cousin, Bing. *Sigh* It's been a year!

I am sad that I could not go home for the death anniversary on the 20th. It's just so hard to leave the kids in Cebu and they also could not be absent from their classes because they're already in the big school --- so hard to catch up when you're absent even for just a day.

I am hoping that just like the way he was with us when he was still alive, Daddy will understand. And I am (always) praying that the Lord will grant them eternal rest.
