All of us were taken aback and some of us even collapsed on their knees and started to cry.

Our lives were better at the past years but I know that our best days will just be coming. Habang hinahanda pa ni mama at Tito Tonton ang hapunan ay napagdesisyunan kong dumiretso sa labas sa likod ng bahay namin. Naupo ako sa may duyan at pinagnilayan ang buong buhay namin.
