Wetwet's High School Graduation

Three weeks ago was my sister's high school graduation. Unfortunately, my mother didn't make it. Nevertheless, her graduation was an opportunity for all of us to have a sort of family reunion after that tragic event. Both of my parents' relatives came in to celebrate. 


My Little Sister: Stephanie "Wet-Wet" Flores


It was indeed the first time for us to celebrate such momentous and joyous event since my mother's death last November. We've had recent gatherings before but those were for my mother's passing (her 40th day) and the prayer vigils prior to her 40th day of passing. We were just lucky to have aunts who helps us fill the gaps of my mother and guide us as what our mother need to do before when she was still alive. We are also grateful that our father tries his best to support us and give us a comfortable life and for not allowing us to experience first hand poverty (though we are not rich).

My mother's closest sister is now acting us our second mother. She was the one who helped my younger sister find a dress for her senior's prom. She also attended my sister's baccalaureate (it was my mother who attended mine). She does what our mother used to do for us back when she was still healthy. We were just thankful there are persons who give us the reasons to go on with life and try to fill my mother's absence.

I wasn't able to attend my sister's graduation since I need to prepare for our lunch. We didn't expect our relatives to come and congratulate my sister. I was happy to see we're almost complete. Why I say just almost? It's because in my heart, we will never be complete, not without my Mama. Nevertheless, it was great to see our family enjoy, share some laughs, and have fun. We can now share some hearty laughs just months after that devastating death of my Mama. I can feel that the wounds are now healing. But it still leave a scar, a reminder of our loss. Well at least, we can now smile.
