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. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. 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. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot
I had received a text message from an unknown number letting
me know someone I knew had already passed away.
I thought it my mind it can be someone who can be sending me
fake news or a scam to only find out to call the phone number.
I found out our old employer who had worked for us so many
years has passed away her name is Manang Ofel the person was just having like a
mother figure. Manang Ofel was always a jolly person and always smiled. Manang
Ofel was very nice to me and treated me like one of her daughter. She always
had something to give me as she came to visit us.
I was wondering why for so many months she had stopped
sending me messages and every time she had a day off over the weekend she would
text me once a week.
The last time I saw Manang Ofel when she had attended a
funeral last March 2019 one of our relative that had passed away. She had cry
so hard when she was there and made a scene.
Her daughter in-law saw my name in her contact list and
recognize the name as she kept hearing it from Manang Ofel. She wanted to call
me up so many times, but never had the courage when you are a stranger and you
don’t know how to begin to contact to those who you think your mom is close to
you don’t know where to begin as you are still grieving with pain in your
hearts.
Manang Ofel had pain in her liver and it got bigger than her
eyes became yellow so there was no more cure. She wanted to be buried and
remain her province with her family.
Manang Ofel worked so hard to build a house for her family,
but couldn’t appreciate the house she built by neglecting her health.
Manang Ofel is not the only one I have known has encounter
this type of situation sometimes even if you work hard, but take your health
for granted it becomes useless to earn an income and not enjoying the house you
have built.
It is better you don’t take your health for granted.
For all the good times realize there are a lot of people who
look so healthy but never tells anyone that they are feeling pain inside.
This is why based on my story if you are not feeling well
please inform your family and never wait till it is too late. It is harder to
except when you leave your family without them knowing you we’re feeling some
kind of pain, but never did anything about your illness.
