This day is when we finally said goodbye to dad - laying him to rest at the Manila Memorial Park in Paranaque. Everyone was in white to celebrate his being at peace and finally joining his creator - and despite our trying to be less mournful about it, some of us could not help but cry at the finality of it all.
Barbie started crying as we entered the cemetery's gates - a realization I guess, as we crossed the threshold. Prior to coming here, Father Blas joked that the person who cried the loudest would most probably be the one with the most sins against dad. Needless to say most remained composed - with no hysterics. I guess we were all exhausted as well - after all, a near week long wake is no laughing matter. From hereon, we will just have pictures and videos to remind us of dad.
Be well dad, and watch over us from above.
