The 1st day of vigil...

I was trying to publish my post last night but I ended up (just) turning off the computer and sleep na lng cause I was just sooo drained. Yesterday was the 1st day of vigil...or the day to give last respect to our friend Elizabeth or Tata as she's fondly called. Tears welling our eyes...everybody's giving each other a hug and a warm embrace of consoling each other, some weeping, some telling tales, but the common denominator is, we are all in sorrow... losing Tata forever.

She was a friend indeed...who shared her love to anyone of us...shared her views and opinions. She was a friend who imbued to us the value of saving and working hard for the future. She was a silent millionaire...yes...unknown to many she was able to save much of her future nest-egg. She had lived a very simple way of life...a very simple dreams...she didn't splurge on material things, she wanted to be so simple and so plain.

Betchie...Bebeth...Tata or Elizabeth....surely you'll be in peace forever !!!
