Samantha's P.O.v

"Sam you need to go to your Mom"

Sabi ni Lolo saakin

"I still can't Lolo "

"you need to be there hirap na ang Mommy mo"

Alam ko kaya nga ayokong pumunta sa loob dahil nasasaktan ako na makita ang Mommy ko na ganon

Nanginginig akong binuksan ang pintuan namumugto na ang mata ko at ang puso ko sobrang nadudurog na

The same feeling when Dad died

Unti unti akong lumapit sa higaan ni Mommy na sobrang payat na at hinang hina na

She looked at me and smiled at me

I can't help my self but to cry

She lend her hand on me at nanginginig kong iniabot ang kamay ko sakanya

I can't look at her like that I know she's in pain but I still don't want her to leave me

She pointed at the table beside her at the top of the table there was a paper

Kinuha ko iyon

"r-read i-it"
Mom said napangiti ako kahit na naiiyak ako

Nagsalita siya saakin kahit hirap na siya

Hinigpitan ko ang hawak ko sa kamay niya

Sabi niya pa nga we will be a great parents to our child tapos sabi pa niya mag mamana ka daw sakanya sa pag luluto which is yun ang namana mo saakin kitchen hates us no? You really look like me buti nga hindi ako pinag palit ng Dad mo sayo haha ang arte ni Mommy feeling bagets but to tell you the truth we really love you more than anything in this world when your Dad died a half of me also died but still I managed to move forward and fulfill what your Dad has left but I'm really sorry Sammy if Mommy wouldn't fulfill my promises to you I'm sorry for being weak when I should be the one who's strong, I'm sorry for hiding you the truth about my condition I just don't want you to be hurt and worried for me because it will also break my heart into million pieces

Love,
Mommy

After I read the letter slowly Mommy's hand is falling

Until she leaves me..

Niyakap ko siya habang umiiyak

I need to be strong just like what she said

But shit I can't help my self from sobbing sobrang sakit mawalan ng magulang na alam mong wala namang ginawa kundi ang mahalin ako ng sobra

Narinig kong nagsipasukan sila Tita Erica sa loob at nagsimulang mag iyakan I was still holding her cold hand

I'm glad she's at peace I can still see her smile

Good bye Mommy I love you as always
