It took me 40 days to write this tribute maybe because I'm still in denial that I lost a person who is like a mother to me. As the days go by it finally dawned to me that auntie mila had already left us. Her passing on made me realize how loved she was by many people, relatives or friends, like a tree, you can not measure its vastness unless it has fallen. While growing up, auntie mila and I share so many stories and experiences, she always confided her joys and her worries. Everytime I visit Gensan was always welcoming and happy. She prepared things and stuff for me to bring home, which I happily look forward to. I always drag her to the markets to do my pamalengke which she always obliged.
In every phase and event of my life she is always present and very supportive in her own comforting way. That's why going home to Gensan will never be the same again. There will always be a void visiting her house.
However, she is now in a better place where there will be no worries, pains and difficulties that we who are left behind will still hurdle every now and then. It is only heart wrenching that she left us in this pandemic.
We were not given the chance to be with her in her last moments. Indeed, God's plans is better than ours.
To auntie Mila, this is not goodbye but only farewell. Thank you for your love and the chance of celebrating your life with us. You will forever be missed. Rest well in God's eternal peace. Until we see each other again in God's perfect time.
