Pardon for the mini-hiatus and for not seeing me hopping in your portal/s lately. This blog pauses to recollect the passing of a first cousin whom I grew up with in Pasig. She’s being mourned there, wept there, and shortly, be laid to rest. How grim and morbid the world is!,. I just had a gray post about her mother (my aunt +) not long ago, to which I even asked her to read the same.
.
May the Eternal Grace & Peace be upon the soul of Lourdes "Undet" ,- my cousin who was once full of dreams, laughter and life in her healthy days . And to drown my ugly sorrow for not making it there, I wrote past this lameting poem in the mid of the night barely after seeing her face in my dream; in Tagalog (as she found me “alien” talking in English). Wherever she maybe, this is for her -

Paalam na aking Pinsan,
Kababata ko't Kaibigan
Kay aga mo kaming nilisan...
luha
Luha nga nami’y baunin,
Kailanman di lilimutin
Sa puso ka nakatanim ...
Sa puso ka nakatanim ...
ngiti
Kurot, sabunot nya’t pasakit
Bakit ngiti ganting palit?…
sigla
Bigla ko tuloy naalala,
Halakhak mong nagiisa
Dating ika’y masigla pa...
kanser
Halakhak mong nagiisa
Dating ika’y masigla pa...
kanser
Bago katawan ay anayin
Kanser ikaw ay lamunin
Naging kalansay sa paningin…
laban
Kanser ikaw ay lamunin
Naging kalansay sa paningin…
laban
Mata ko may’ di nasilip
Paghihirap mong sinapit
Sa laban mong anong lupit…
giting
Paghihirap mong sinapit
Sa laban mong anong lupit…
giting
Ako nama'y pinahanga
Sa giting mo raw na pinakita
Tinukod tuhod kahit mahina …
habilin
Sa giting mo raw na pinakita
Tinukod tuhod kahit mahina …
habilin
PAUMANHIN mahal na Pinsan,
Pagbalik sa abo'y di nasilayan
Huling Habilin mo’y hahawakan.
Pagbalik sa abo'y di nasilayan
Huling Habilin mo’y hahawakan.
****
I hope the Single Mom would read this from somewhere else. And may the Lord Bless the little Children she left behind. (+)

My deepest sympathy to you and your whole family. It is hard when a loved-one passes on and you were thousand miles away. But for sure your thoughts and prayers will do just fine.
That was a nice poem!
" condolence po...tc "
Hi Josh,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. No pain is the same for it all wounds us in a certain way...
I just lost my dear grandma last month and I still feel torn about it. She also fought a good fight against cancer.
Losing someone you love is never easy and acceptance doesn't always come too soon...
That's why my prayers are with you and your family, as well as for the soul of your beloved cousin.
Take care my friend.
SALAMAT NG MARAMI SA INYO.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine!
