Remember Loved Ones Novels & Stories

“I was betrayed by them.” We visited my parent’s graveyard. Muling lumuha ang aking mga mata nang makita ang mga pangalan nila roon at taon kung kailan sila namatay. Sobrang sakit na sa maikling panahon ko lang silang nakasama noon. At halos wala pa akong matandaan dahil sa bata ko.

*** Pagbalik ni Brandon sa bahay ng mga Fowler. Pagkabukas niya ng cellphone, nag-vibrate agad ito—sunod-sunod ang mensahe. Mula sa kanyang Lolo. Today is the death anniversary of Marga’s mother. Don’t forget to visit her grave. Brandon, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten again! Do I really need to remind you every year? Sunod ang kay Kanata. I’ll be visiting Tita Denn’s grave today. Can I come with you?

Namatay ang kanilang ama dahil sa cancer of the urinary bladder. Magrarason pa sana siya sa kapatid nang pumasok sa opisina si Karen, asawa ni Jess at best friend niya. "Jess, Julia, nag aaway nanaman ba kayo?" sita ng babae. " Kahit nasa labas ako ay dinig na dinig ko ang mga boses ninyo. Ano ba kayo? Kamamatay lang ni Daddy, ah." Ang asawa mo ang pagsabihan mo, Karen, huwag ako. Uuwi muna ako. Kapag rational na uli ang utak ng kapatid ko ay saka na lang uli ako babalik." Tumayo na si Julia mula sa kinauupuan at humalik sa pisngi ng kaibigan.

“I want you to have a lot of memories to cherish. The places we go to are so repetitive. I was worried you might get sick of it.” “Kahit saan naman tayo magpunta okay lang.” “I wanted us to go to a place where we have no painful memories to remember.” “Sa atin kasi, naalala natin si Chance ‘no?” saad ko at dahan-dahan naman siyang tumango. “It’s good to remember our memories with him but being hurt by it is unavoidable. I just don’t get why remembering memories of people we loved who passed away hurts. Even the good and fun ones.”

Hindi nagtanong pa sila Eloise at Sean dahil ramdam nila na hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ni Madeline. Pagkahiga ni Madeline sa kanyang kwarto, tumunog ang isang notification ng isang reminder sa kanyang phone, na nagpapaalala sa kanya na sa susunod na araw na ang death anniversary ng lolo niya, na si Len, na nagpalaki at nag-aruga sa kanya. "Lolo…" Ang sinabi niya at nagsimulang kumirot ang kanyang puso.

Ramdam ko agad ang hawak ni Glenn sa kamay ko at kahit papaano ay nagbigay ginhawa ito sa puso ko. It's true that the pain of losing someone will never fade away. We, the bereaved family, will always bear the pain of losing our loved ones. Words cannot express what type of pain it is unless you experience it. And no matter how painful it is, we wish for our loved ones who passed away to find peace in their new journey. . c.m. louden

For someones who dies, everything ends once they died. They return to the heaven that's all. The one who gets trouble is who left behind. It's extremely troubling because only memories will remained.

May dinaanan din itong mga mga kainan at nag-take out na kakainin nilang magkakaibigan. Yes, isang party ang magaganap ngayong gabi. A memorial gathering? Living funeral? Pre-funeral? Hindi niya alam ang tamang term. Basta nabanggit na iyon dati ng mga kaibigan niya. Ito na ang panahon para makapagpaalam siya sa mga kaibigan niya. Brilliant idea, right? Kasi naman kapag patay siya, hindi na niya malalaman ang mga saloobin ng mga ito. Maigi na itong buhay pa siya ganapin.

But our lips remained connected, never minding the cold that the rain had poured on us. But… I will remember it all. Even this cold. I will remember it.

And let us cling to the warm and those or with which we have now experienced a loss, and let us stand by one and the other as we grieve this bleak turn. Finally, I would like to request each one of you to observe a minute’s silence in the honor and memory of an outstanding human being – Marlon. May the family accept our condolences and could move on with the belief that he is now in a better place – no more pain, and most of all, loved. Amen."
