It has been seven years since the day we had to let you go...
The cold and gloom filled the air. Everywhere the rainstorm shattered the streets...everywhere...except for the pathway that lead us from the chapel to your resting ground. It was a "calm" that sneaked in just when we were on the brink of hysteria.
The tiny light of the sun peeked out from behind the clouds to lead the way. Most of us fell hard from the weight of such a heavy loss, but we followed the sun in hopes to catch what little warmth it carried. In hopes to be by your side for one last time.
I know we all felt it in some way. I know because you resonated so powerfully within us. We held onto you; Our hope, our light, our everything because it was you who started everything. But...knowing this, we knew we will someday learn how to rebuild.
It was what you would have wanted from us.
It is what we want for us.
We may not be what we once were, but we are growing stronger every day because of you.
Mama, you showed us the importance of family and this, we will never let go.
Sincerely,
The Dizon Family
