Mamang’s 59th Birthday
It’s Mamang’s supposed to be 59th birthday. I whispered “Happy birthday Mang” upon waking up yesterday. I am sure she heard it…wherever she is right now.
I was searching for some photos of Mamang to be posted here but I only found this one. The last ID photo she had before she got sick and died. It was framed by Carol so that Ella could see it often. I took this during Ella’s birthday. According to Carol, the little girl found the photo frame in their things from Davao. She let the frame sit in the chair and talk to it which she usually does and said “Gutom ako Neng” (I am hungry, Neng) imitating Mamang’s voice. Neneng is an endearment in Ilocano we are called Neneng by Mamang….including Ella.
We didn’t prepared something today. We just went out and eat at Yellow Cab per Che2x’s request which also serves as an early birthday treat for tomorrow.
