We’re traveling to the Bay Area this weekend and I will not be able to go to the cemetery on November 1 because our flight back from the US would be arriving in the evening of November 1. Even if my very kind daughter volunteered to bring candles and flowers to her Tito Ben, I still went to the cemetery in Binangonan last saturday.
There were other people visiting their loved ones.
My brother lived in Binangonan with his family, that’s why when he died, he was buried here. My parents were buried in Milpitas, Californa.
I bought one year supply of candles for Kuya Ben and my parents.
The covers protect the candle from rain and wind. These are very good inventions.
Kuya, hindi ako makakapunta sa undas kaya ngayon ako sumaglit. Pero si Oyen daw ay pupunta dito sa Nov 1. Sana hindi umulan kasi last year, sobra kaming basa sa ulan at ang putik dito.
sad…i think i knew your kuya ben way back at BCHS altho’ he was years older than me…this post made me remember my only brother who died 28 yrs ago, and i still cry when i think about him…i like your sensitivity, being a sweet sister and all….
thanks again for sharing your life and your sentiments…
Thank you and warmest regards.
