Class Dismissed

Last night I visited my Auntie at the intensive care unit of Cavite Medical Center together with my mom and sister. We are not allowed to stay long inside and we can only go in one by one. She wanted to say something but since she wasn’t able to speak due to her respirator, she asked for a pen and paper.

“Giniginaw ako ((translated, “I feel cold.”)),” she wrote.

The nurse took out a blanket and I helped her placing it to my Aunt.

Before I went home I told Mommy Zellie (as I fondly call her) that I will return tonight and that she get well soon. She nodded as I bid goodbye.

Indeed… that was goodbye.
