"Good morning! Ladies and Gentlemen, I grew up being a good boy. You don't believe it right? I'm a Mama's boy. I love my Mom very much she was my first and definitely will be my last love. I remember I was six years old back then when I found out that she's hiding a beanies and wigs under our bed. I confronted her that night then she confessed she's sick.That was the first night when I realized how painful to be broken is. Mom escaped her medications, she never attended her monthly chemotherapy just to send me to a private and prestigious school in Nagoya, she was working hard through night and Day to buy all things that I wanted to have, she never scolded me nor bragged. I never heard any words coming from her mouth, with the hard responsibility she's shouldering for a long period of time, For me she's my Angel, she's my everything. I'll never be who am I now without her, I'll never be here standing in front of you giving a speech that will definitely make you cry. I'm now expressing my deepest apologies.
I was just seven years old when my Mom died on my arms. HELL that word best describes my life without my Mom, waking up in the morning without Mom, sleeping without Mom, going to school without Mom, Family Days without Mom. I can't really live without my Mom but, I am trying my best to overcome a day without her presence.
I told you a while ago that ready your tissues but you never believed me. I was four years old back then when she asked me what gift do I want to receive for my upcoming birthday then I answered just give me a non-stop kiss on both cheeks all night long, then she did it, that was the most beautiful gift I've ever received in my whole life. To those who have a complete family you're indeed very lucky. Because you have a loving mother and a very protective father treasure them, they're the real definition of gold. If you want to succeed in life you need to put God on top, your parents, use the pain and strive for the best. Life has taught us a lot of things, through experiences and then later on realization awaken us. You need to treasure, love, care and protect all the people whom you really love before everything ends. After this day another chapter of our lives will start but we shouldn't forget all the lessons, we shouldn't burry it in our mind. We should always be reminiscing them day by day, remember them with all our hearts and at the end of the day we'll be again standing tall saying, Yes I succeed thank you.." A round of applause echoed at the whole gymansium as Chave ended his speech. My son graduated as the class valedictorian. He already finished highschool.
Maging ako ay napaiyak sa speech niya nadala nito ang emosyon ng lahat ng mga manonood. I'm so proud of my son.
"I got it Dad!" nakangiting sambit niya habang papalapit sa akin.
"That's my man congratulations!" niyakap ko siya kaagad.
"Dad let's go magtatampo na si Nanay."
"Oo nga baka awayin na naman niya ako ang sungit pa naman niyon."
------
Her name was engraved perfectly. Nagsindi ako ng kandila at inilapag ang white roses sa lapida niya. Inilatag naman ni Chave ang picnic blanket dahil may family bonding kami ngayon.
Dito sa isang private property ko siya pinalibing dahil dito kasi ay tanaw na tanaw ang sunset. Masaya kasi siyang pinagmamasdan ang paglubog ng araw.
"It's been a decade Chalvea since you left us kamusta ka na diyan sa langit?"
"Look Mom I graduated as class valedictorian wala ba akong adobo diyan?" sambit ni Chave na inilapag ang mga medalya nito sa lapida ng Mama niya. "I can never do this without you Mom I love you and I miss you."
"Chalvea sino daw mas guwapo sa aming dalawa ako o si Chave?" pang-iinis ko kay Chayve.
"Of course it's me Dad."
"No it's me Son."
"Baka sumagot si Nanay Dad sigawan niya pa tayo." sabay naman kaming nagtawanan.
May mga bagay na kahit anong pagmamahal at pag-aaruga ang ialay mo mawawala pa rin ito sa'yo. Masakit mawalan pero kailangan mong magpatuloy. Umiyak ka man at mailuha mo na ang lahat hindi na siya babalik sa'yo. Pagtanggap lamang ang susi.
Kahit nawala ka na sa mundo ikaw pa rin ang minamahal ko. Umaasa ako na isang araw magkikita tayong muli sa isang lugar kung saan wala ng makapaghihiwalay sa atin at hindi na natin kailangan pang mamaalam sa isa't isa. I'll be waiting for that day to come. I promise that I'll hold you tight and never let you go.
Living without you is like living without a soul.
I'm inlove with you since day one and until forever.
Why does everything ends when you finally said I love you?
I love her
She loves me
It's now Goodbye and till we meet again.
THE END..
