The funeral of Miyuki is held on a calm, overcast day. The soft, gray sky mirrors the somber mood as family and friends gather around to say their final goodbyes.
White lilies and delicate pink roses are placed on the casket, symbols of innocence and love, and a few of Miyuki’s favorite toys are nearby a reminder of her young life and the happiness she brought to those around her.
Sari stands by her daughter’s casket, her face a mixture of exhaustion and grief, her hand resting gently on the polished wood as she struggles to hold back her tears.
Zach is there too, offering silent support to his sister, his expression solemn and pained. Kiera stands close by, gently holding Zach's hand, both offering strength to Sari during this difficult moment.
Tacia, Scarlet, and Mira stand nearby, each wearing expressions of sadness and sympathy, and their silent presence speaks volumes.
Gio’s eyes are red from crying, and she watches over Sari, her heart aching for the pain. The others Mica, Jo, and Cole, are there as well, each lost in their own quiet reflections, united in sorrow.
In the quiet of the service, Sari’s parents comfort her, their arms around her as she says her final goodbye.
Their eyes are heavy with sorrow and love, grieving the loss of their granddaughter. Travis, stands a little way back, his face a mix of sympathy and concern, ready to lend any support he can.
As the service draws to a close, Sari steps forward, holding a small, handwritten letter. Her hands shake, her voice faltering as she begins to speak, but her love for Miyuki gives her strength.
“My sweet Miyuki," she says, her voice filled with both pain and pride. "From the moment I held you in my arms, you changed my life. Pina intindi mo sa'kin ang meaning ng pagmamahal, pag asa, and to believe in miracles. You were always stronger than anyone knew, my brave little girl."
A few tears escape as she recalls those early years. "I remember how small you were as a baby, yet how much spirit you had. You used to laugh at the silliest things, yung mga ngiti mo anak, du'n nawawala ang pagod ni mommy."
Sari pauses, her voice cracking as the memories wash over her. “Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit naging mas matapang ako anak. Miyuki, always so full of life, and even when things got hard, you fought with a strength I can only dream of having.”
Her shoulders shake slightly, and Gio steps forward, placing a supportive hand on her shoulder. Sari takes a breath and continues, looking down at her letter.
“I’ll never forget how brave you were, even when the doctors told us things I didn’t want to hear. You never complained, not once. Instead, you worried about me, asking if I was okay, even though you were the one who was hurting.”
Gio, standing , listens with a heavy heart, feeling an overwhelming sense of regret. She remembers Miyuki's bright eyes, her laughter, and the times she could have spent more time by her side but didn’t.
Tears stream down her face as she realizes how much she missed by not being there when Miyuki needed her. The regret weighs heavily, knowing she can never get that time back.
Sari continues, her voice soft but filled with love. “Anak kung alam mo lang gusto pa kitang makasama ng matagal, yung mga hiling mo. Yung mga pangarap mo anak diba tutuparin pa natin yun. I wanted to protect you from this world, to keep you safe. But you… you were the one who protected me. You taught me strength, showed me what it means to fight.”
She looks up at the sky, her face wet with tears, yet there’s a small, sad smile. “Alam kong nasa mabuting kalagayan Kana, smiling down at us, probably telling me not to cry. But I miss you, my love. I will carry you with me, every day, and your bravery, your light, will live on in my heart.”
As Sari’s words hang in the air, Gio steps forward, her own face wet with tears, and whispers to the casket,
“I’m sorry, Miyuki… I’m so sorry for not being there sooner.” Her voice is thick with regret, and she lets out a shaky breath, remembering the times Miyuki had asked for her, the calls she missed, the little moments she had overlooked.
“Sorry kung hindi mo manlang naranasan mag karoon ng buong pamilya habang lumalaki ka… you deserved my time, anak, and I was late. I’m so sorry.”
The ceremony is peaceful yet heart-wrenching. As the casket is lowered, Sari places a single rose atop it, a last gesture of her love and farewell.
The soft murmur of prayers fills the air, and the family, surrounded by friends, finds a moment of solace in shared memories, each remembering Miyuki’s bright smile and the joy she brought into their lives.
The sound of quiet sobs, a few final words, and the gentle whispers of the wind mark the end of the service, but Miyuki’s memory lives on in the hearts of all gathered.
The silence that follows is filled with a mix of sadness and love, as friends and family wipe their tears, each touched by Sari’s words and Gio’s quiet apology.
In this shared grief, they find a sense of closeness, a bond formed through the memory of a girl who fought bravely until the end, a daughter and friend who will forever be missed.
