Tomorrow
… will be the first day of the 9 days mass for my dear son Huey. It is a tradition here in the Philippines that when someone died and it is his/her 1st year anniversary, you have to pray for the soul for 9 days. Since Huey is an angel we decided to offer him a mass for 9 days instead of the “pabasa“. But we will still have the pabasa on the 10th which is the date when Huey died on the cemetery. They said that children who died have no sins at all. They are innocent so they don’t need to have the pabasa which is often for the old people who committed sins already.

It makes me sad that it is already 1 year after he died. Everything keeps coming back to me. The scene at the hospital, the face of my dear son, the crying after all the doctors said that he is gone, the long wait to the funeral parlor, everything keeps coming back to my head. No, I am not crying. I am stopping myself to cry because Huey won’t be happy to see my crying. I am just sad to remember those things. I am happy for my son to be with Jesus. I wonder why if it is really a very nice place there that he chose to go there than to spend his entire life with us. Someday I will see that place and for sure I will enjoy and be happy to be there just like what my son is experiencing right now.
I will wake up early tomorrow for the 6am mass. I hope that God will hear my prayers for my son. I hope Huey is happy now there and playing without any sickness and all.
I will pray tomorrow that Huey will be OK there and be our angel forever.
My dear son, please remember that we love you so much and you will always be remembered.
I love you son! We miss you so much!
