The writer shared how they attended the wake of their close friend’s dad. While catching up with their barkada, the topic naturally changed to health updates about their parents and loved ones.

Some were dealing with cancer, others with various serious illnesses. Looking back, they realized it wasn’t just grandparents they’d been losing. Friends were saying goodbye to parents, and in some cases, even siblings.

During the wake, they mentioned to a friend how ironic it was that their barkada mostly saw each other at wakes or funerals now. The friend replied, saying they really need to meet up for happier reasons, not just when someone passes away.

Here is the full post:

“Andito na tayo sa edad na…

Just recently, I attended a wake of a close friend’s father. Kasama ko din yung mga kasama namin sa barkada, and in that occassion, naglabasan mga kwento na yung nanay ni ganyan may cancer pala, yung tatay ni ganito may ganitong sakit, etc.

Last year, ang dami ko din batchmates na namatayan, hindi lang mga lolo at lola, pati parents na din. Minsan nga kapatid pa.

I realized na nandun na tayo sa age na our parents get sick and frail, and while I know what people eventually pass away, it just saddens me and makes me anxious na ayun nga, andun nako sa age na yun.

Sabi ko sa friend ko, “ano ba yan, laging drawing yung libot ng barkada, pero sa ganito na lang pala tayo nagkikita.”

Sabi nya, “sana magkita naman tayo on a more positive way. Hindi yung namamatayan kaya tayo nagkikita-kita.”

Mahalin natin pamilya natin hanggat kaya, guys!”
