Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try.

Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice.

Reminisce


As you analyze the person who left you and has part away you realize maybe the person who passed away knew she was in pain.

As you reminisce and remember when she last visit you there is something you started to think with your friends that maybe she knew she had an illness because when you last saw her she was drawn to you that she didn’t want to leave to where she had worked has her boss kept calling her to go to work earlier than they time she is suppose to check in.

When I saw Manang Ofel I remember she was always crying even if we had talked about the person who had passed away.

I remember we even drank that time and she was so happy although she was feeling sick inside her she would dance off the alcohol in her system.  All through the night she had told us stories about her life as we took it all girls having a night to talk about.

The next morning we ate together for breakfast she kept crying as my Aunt told her if she didn’t quit working for her she could have been the one chosen to migrate to the United States than someone she ended hiring.

Mannang Ofel kept crying as her tears would no longer stop and she stayed in a room filled with people consoling her to stop crying and just be grateful we are here for her.

As her boss kept calling and leaving messages she wanted to stay longer as she kept delaying to leave us.

Sometimes when something like this happen to you there is no clue in our heart and mind this would be our last day we would see each other.

I am the type of person when someone dies I have a feeling they are at my side.

I see imagine or pictures of someone as they appear on my laptop.

I would see a person who just stood near the door way where he use to sleep when he use to visit us.

I would smell a perfume as I mentioned her name with a gush of wind.

I see black butterflies when someone passed away and I don’t see them calling me to see them.

I see the light twitching on and off in my room.

I see rainbows to symbolize the person who left us.

They don’t come in my dreams as other people see their love ones.

When they are at peace I don’t feel or see anything from them.

As Manang Ofel is no longer here I feel she is at peace because there was no sign of her when she had left us. It seems the day I saw her she knew that was her last visit to us.

May she rest in peace and the others who are close to us.
