"Oo! Ayokong palakihin silang mag-isa, kaya kailangan ko pa ring ipagpatuloy ang paghahanap sa kanya. Kahit patay na siya, kailangan kong hanapin ang kanyang mga labi.

Hindi ko rin alam kung paano sila pakakalmahin. “Can you let me and my kids adjust first?” I ask them na agad din nilang ikatingin sa akin. “Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman.
