It's Anniversary Day -- Our Family Day

It's been years since we celebrated as a family, wasn't it, Dad?

Mom has left us quite a time, and it's been SIX years from our last celebration, a Silver Wedding Anniversary. You thought that it would be a meaningful and rejoicing evening if we could have a party, inviting our closest family and friends to gather in our house. Even long enough before it, we had come to a thought for making a little party at a pool-side, inspired by Dad's high-school friends who also celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary at the pool-side. That was when we still had faith that GOD could heal her fully and make her walk again.

When the days grew, and July was approaching nearly, seemed that our faith had changed. To see the dearest person in our heart suffered that much really made us want to do anything -- ALMOST anything -- to be with her longer, if not forever. Even until the night before she left us, i still not had any clue about what happened the next morning (it was sunday evening, and i was at sunday mass, on my usual seat back when i was a kid, front-left, all alone...)


And now it's the 24th of July, again.
funny that i recall this day only from a parking ticket, as usual as it might be...
