Last night I went to a wake. It was that of my best friend's father.
I came there not really knowing what to say. You see, I have that problem. I don't know what to say to someone who had just suffered the loss of a loved one.
"How are you?" - I just find this stupid.
"I am really sorry." - for what?
"My condolences." - too impersonal.
When I got to the chapel, I ended up just giving my best friend a hug. Something that I really do not do often.
But this got me thinking.
When I go, and friends come to my wake (not that I would want to have one), what would they say to the ones I would leave behind?
Pipingutin ko ang sinumang magtanong sa pamilya ko ng "kamusta na po kayo?" o "ok lang po kayo?"!
Pipitikin ko ang ilong ng sinumang magsabi ng "kaya nyo nyan!" o "tibayan nyo loob nyo."!
