She’s 7 and I think she’s very smart and mature for her age. Her mom, Chique, brings her to the office once in a while. And every time she’s there, she shows up in my office with a big smile. She came the other day and gave us sweets from Lucban, Quezon. She calls me Boss An kasi naririnig siguro sa mom nya.
She lost her dad two weeks ago. He collapsed while playing basketball. He was 37. Just that morning, they visited a memorial park because he wanted to buy lots to transfer the remains of his parents. He was overweight and the doctor said medyo barado na daw yung aorta.
How sad… too young to die and leaving behind a very young daughter. A few years ago, my cousin’s husband died too at the age of 38 after suffering from heat stroke while he was competing in a 21k marathon. His daughter was only 4 years old.
