Tomorrow will be MIL's third death anniversary. I wasn't with the family long enough to know her well. I know that she is one generous soul. I know that she favored Vic over his other siblings, being the only boy. She wouldn't listen to reason but would listen to Vic as if she heard from the wise man. She is one person who is not afraid to speak her mind. Her children would often shush her to curb her tongue. She may curse a lot but I realize that it's not meant to be taken personally. I heard her curse her children often enough. She's also one gullible person when it comes to his son's jokes. That's why she often the butt of Vic's jokes.
She led a very charmed life. She had the means to spend and to travel to her heart's content. She's just limited by the disease that "crippled" her in the last years of her life. Her health affected her disposition. She was almost always tired and irritable. Vic would often say that had she lived during the Japanese occupation, the Japanese would give up on her.
Now that she's gone, so much has changed. She served as the unifying factor of the family. She spoke when people are hesitant to open up.
If she were still here, I bet she'd drag my kids with her everyday. I bet I wouldn't have to spend for anything because she shower them with gifts. She'd teach them to drink soft drinks at an early age. They'd also learn to curse as plain as day.
Kidding aside, I know my kids are missing a lot, not knowing their paternal grandmother. But, I guess, it is best that way. We'd rather not have her here with us if that means ending all her pain and suffering.
I miss her yet I don't know her. I just can't begin to imagine how my much the mama's boy misses his mom.
