Death again…
So many deaths this year.. why oh why..
My colleague’s dad died, a former famous basketball player (NCAA about fifty years back). He’s 91, and my colleague said he died of Alzhiemer’s — having forgotten to breathe. Well, he is his son so he can joke about that, but, it’s always nice to see family warmingly accepting the lost of a loved one.
It’s just like ours when my tito died, or lolo, or lola… nobody’s super sad, everybody’s got a smile on the face. It’s almost like a reunion, chismisan galore, updates on what’s what, who’s who, whenever such an occasion happens. I
t’s as if we’re having a party, more like, probably, it’s the dream of our dead loved ones to atleast reunite the family as he leaves the “earth”… like a despedida.
Then maybe, another party, a welcome party, with the rest of the family “on the other side” whenever one of us gets there…
… where all of us truly belong.

“forgot to breathe?” … wow. That’s a pretty humorous way of saying it. But then again, when you realize that death is a ‘home going’ rather than an end, it makes sense. Despedida party! God bless.
Yes, I noticed how funerals turn into unplanned family reunions.
and i think it’s great cause it’s not too often that we get to see the whole family.
