Missing My 'Nanay'
It's been 9 years today since she passed. I've been thinking about her for days now thinking about the ' what ifs '. I know I can't dwell on those 'what ifs' but I can't help it everytime I think about her [and my Tatang]... which is more often than I care to admit. I've been told by a lot of my relatives, especially her siblings, and friends that I look like her. I'd like to think so too. But as the years go by, I've realized that our similarities don't end there. I am my mother in so many ways. I'm not sure if she'll be proud about that but I am certainly happy to be just like her in more ways than one. I know one day I'll see her again...but I wish she's still around so when I am at my weakest I can still run to her just like when I was a little girl.
