a man who hoped..

I went to cebu, but not for a vacation but to attend a solemn and simple funeral for my uncle.

I didn't know him that well, as all of my memories of him are mostly from childhood. He used to stay with us in our home and I remember that he was an ambitious man, who always wanted a better life for his family, a father who hoped to be better than he is and who wished all his daughters and sons to have a great future ahead.

I am close to Ate emily and kuya noli, and I felt their sadness in their hearts, although not spoken, but utterly felt. Tio Bernard would surely be missed. may your soul rest in God's hands.
