Loss is hard
this post is dedicated to my dear cousin, Angel On October 24th, 2024* , my aunt in the Philippines passed away. She had been fighting cancer for two years. I did not know her as much as I would have liked to, since we live so far away, but I know she was a beautiful wife and loving mother to her two daughters. One of my aunt's daughters Angel, is my age. I have a group of cousins I usually stick with on my trips to the Philippines, and Angel is one of them. Angel is sweet, smart, and fun to be with. I remember when I and two of my other cousins, Bevien and Jasmine, were in the car together. Angel got carsick easily, so we tried to help distract her by taking turns telling stories. Angel was so nice to be around. Angel, I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. Your mama must have been so brave, battling cancer for two years. Why must it happen to you? Why couldn't it have been someone else? You weren't done growing up yet, and your mama wanted to be with you
