As previously mentioned, July is a memorable month for us. It is the month when the three Rodrigazo's got married, the month of Mamang's Birth, the 20th of July. Mamang have not tasted a life of prosperity, not until her last days, where she lived in an air conditioned room, with a doctor on call, two maids and all the amenities she could have. For six months, I walked from our house to a distant house we rented for her every morning of each day to see to it that she has already taken her breakfast after taking a bath. On 28th of September at around 7:30 in the morning after taking her breakfast, while sitting at her rocking chair watching television - she was running after her breath. She looked at me as I entered the sala where she used to wait for me. I kissed her in the forehead and told her to rest. It was the last time I kissed my mother. She died of cancer of the colon. She deserves all the hapiness in this world even in her last days, she deserves the treasures she saved for so long, after years of struggle, she deserves it more.Her funeral was an affair. An affair she deserve at the last moment of her earthly body.
