last letter

miiiiiss! i'm so sorry if this is late...but we still don't have electricity! we're running on generator until now and it only comes on 7pm onwards. super sorry...

Dear Lolo,

This is pretty weird. I guess you find this pretty weird too. You know, your granddaughter dying before you. I know ‘weird’ isn’t technically the right term to use at the moment, but considering I am about to die…grammar and proper word usage is sooo the last thing on my mind right now. This might come as a shock to you. This letter I mean. I actually was already decided on addressing this last letter to mom, dad, friends, etc. I even had it all typed out already, all the ‘I love you’ and the ‘I’ll miss you’ tadidadida. But in the middle of it, I realized…this is my last day on earth. This may be the last anyone will ever hear of me. All the things I just wrote, those are things (I hope) people already know. Coz if they didn’t, then my life here on earth would have been a waste. Because I do love all of them and I’ve spent most of my life showing that.

Anywayz, point is…I’d like to take this chance to do something I’ve never done before, something I’ve always wondered and thought about. If there’s anything in this world that is certain, it is that everything happens for a reason…that God has great giant plan for all of us and somehow, it really is all for the best…whether it be my death or your relationship with lola or your relationship with us. Though we never really talked or even saw each more than once every…I dunow…3 years?...I guess I just want you to know that I do love you. I bet you’re laughing right now. But it’s true. I lived my life convincing myself that I never liked you, convincing myself that you are that bad guy everyone says you are. For 16 ½ years, I never stopped running away from you...from the truth. I never stopped blaming you. Only now do I see that, despite everything, the choices you made were indeed for the best…for us and for our family. That you did love us all. So in the end, I guess that is what I want you to know. That I really do love you. And someday, I hope to see you again in heaven. Maybe then, I’ll be able to say it to your face.

"Forget regret for life is yours to miss..."

Heaven doesn't have to wait.

I liked the letter - very casual in the beginning and straight to the point in the end.

I hope you took away something from this activity.

:o)
