Visiting my Mother

Every year here in our country we celebrate All Saint’s Day. It is always declared a holiday so every one of us can visit our departed relatives. The day is spent visiting the graves of deceased relatives, where they offer prayers, lay flowers, and light candles, often in a picnic-like atmosphere. Today we visited my mother at her graves at Calamba, Laguna where she laid. Me, my wife Marie and my kids Vetvet and Botbot, my brother Pholly light candles and offer flowers and prayer. I also checked my other children Jech and Gray if they already visited the grave of their mother and Lolo in Pampanga. My other son Ojey already visited her mother last week due to the reason that he will take his board exam this week. During this day we visit those special people who were a special part in our life…to let them know that even they are already gone we still remember and love them. To my grandparents, Lolo Apolonio, Lola Felisa, Lola Insay, my parents, Nestor and Sally, my parent-in-law, Graciano, my brother, Edwin, and my wife, Milet, may all of you find happiness and rest in peace.
