It was our first Christmas without my father. We decided to celebrate it in our parents' house in Bulacan. Everybody was trying to put on a happy face so that our mother wouldn't feel very sad. We said that we are not going to be weepy this Christmas. Mother kept on saying though that if father were still alive, he would be very happy because we are almost complete. (Only Ditse wasn't able to go home)
My mother's bravado crumpled when it was time to eat the Noche Buena. She suddenly burst into tears which prompted me to embrace her and say that we are always there to support her.
Last Christmas, both my parents were in our house in Cavite. But now only my mother is with us.........
