December, 2008. We all went for vacation to the Philippines and we stayed at the Sisters of Mary School for two weeks till we came back home. Before that I bought some books from the school like "Killing Me Softly" by our very own Fr. Al, my batch 1992 year book, and lastly the 40 years of the Sisters of Mary in pictures.
I wanted to share my experience about the book, 40 years of the Sisters of Mary in pictures. Each time I look at the pictures of the Sisters of Mary and Fr. Al last day on earth, I can't control my tears, even just imagining the works of Fr. Al to the poorest of the poor, and even just writing this blog. I feel something inside of me longing to be with Fr. Al again just like before and be with the sisters inside the school. I am so grateful that each time I remember the Sisters of Mary, I am looking at myself now and my journey of life, it's all because of Fr. Al.
One day, my son asked me about Fr. Al after seeing the pictures from the book. He said, somewhat like this. Why Fr. Al was sleeping? What is he doing on that literally coffin (but he mentioned different word)? How did they took the pictures of Fr. Al from heaven (since I told him Fr. Al was already in heaven)? I just couldn't tell him directly that Fr. Al passed away a long time ago and that he is no longer with us but somehow, little by little I tried to explain to my son the understanding that a human being are not permament on earth and that everybody are just "passing by".
