All Souls' Day ... I remember those who have passed away, most especially the people closest to me while growing up.
During a quiet lunch today, I particularly remembered my grandfather. Tatang passed away on August 19, 1996 in the Philippines. The last time I saw him was in April 1989. The last time I spoke to him on the phone was in June 1996, at around his 85th birthday.
I still see Tatang in my dreams after all these years ... whenever I see him in my panaginip, his presence would be that of a tall, youthful, strong, gentle, kind, patient, loving and doting grandfather.
I miss him.
