Farewell
A friend’s passing is never a happy news. But I know that I owe it to you to be happy because now you are with Him in peace.
The news of your passing came to me as a shock. I was about to head for work the other day when I remembered to check my other phone for messages. I pressed the phone one time to many that the next thing I saw is the sad message from a common friend.
I couldn’t help but look back at the times we spent together - the countless meals and conversations we had, the trip to puerto galera, your crying in Manila Hotel in 2002, the cute gift you gave me on my 27th birthday, the song "Happy" which I asked you to download, the times we spent in our apartment, our internet chats - everything.
I remember you saying that "ang daya-daya ko" for leaving the country. Now it’s my turn to say, "ang daya-daya mo, iniwan mo kami". Pero okay lang, kasi alam kong you’re in a much better state where you are right now.
Farewell my dear friend. I will miss you.

It is during times like this that I wish for words to heal the pain, tears to wash away grief and hope to give us the strength to move on. If there is one thing I learned about your passing, it’s the reality that life is not always as we plan it to be. There’s a supreme being who makes the bigger plan, always with the view of the bigger picture, and always with a brighter ending. It may not be in this world anymore, but I know, someday, our paths will cross again.

hi liezl, glad that you’re back in the blogging world. I only read yours and Mia’s blogs hehe.
anyway, i also heard the news. and even if we haven’t really been friends, i have met him a couple of times but i’ve heard a lot of stories about him. he was so young. it reminds me of my own loss when someone so young and full of life leaves this world. and i learned that we never really get over it, we try to live with it. so sad
