Missing Honey

I heard mass with my family in Vigan today, for the first time since I lived with them for three years. I went to mass with them, on our first weekend together, not the usual, because Honey is no longer with us. My prayers during the mass mostly was for her, and her peace. We lit candles after, and I lit three for her.

Walking out of the church, I heard the final hymn, 'Pananagutan', which I have known for most of my life. I have heard and perhaps sung the song for a million times that I have taken for granted the words put to the lovely melody. I was reminded right away of Honey, and how she lived her life. We miss you, Honey.
