Dearest Mamang, tomorrow would have been your 82nd birthday on earth. I miss you every day. The pain and sadness of not having you around lingers and part of my living and breathing. I however know and accept that you are now ageless in heaven with the gift of eternal life.
Today to celebrate your beautiful life you shared with us, we went to mass at Sacred Heart Church in Foothill Blvd, Rancho Cucamonga and had lunch at China Republic. The dimsum-xiao long bao, chicken feet, seaweed rolls were great. Their peking duck was impressive. We had Baked shakes, refreshers and mini cupcakes for dessert. Who doesn't love sweet treats, right? You maybe Ma, you never had a sweet tooth. I think we got it from Papang.
I feel in my heart that you watch over us constantly. I know that you are the family's strongest and most staunch intercessor for all our needs and prayers.
We love you Ma, so so much.
Happy birthday my darling.
