Forbes... In My MemoriesAfter lunch, I went to Butterfly to drop off a check for Ninang. I stayed and chit chatted with her for a while, making plans for lunch with her and Ate Pebs for tomorrow at UCC. As I was about to leave she offered me some lunch, which I refused since I already ate and was on my way back to the office.
When I got into the car some thoughts just flashed into my head. I remembered the days when I was still in school, staying in Forbes during the half-days to just sit down and eat with Lolo and Lola, and study for whatever has to get studied, while waiting for Mommy to get out of work. I also remembered talking to Ninang and Kuya Ronnie over lunch at the breakfast nook, Regina running around, waiting for me to get up and play with her. I also remembered how there were days when Kuya Ting Ting and Kuya Dondi would go to Forbes for lunch on one of their not so busy days.
I thought how I would never again experience those days, never again spend another Christmas in the grand home we once all grew up in, never hear a new born sibling's/cousin's baby say that this IS Lolo and Lola's house. Instead, we will hear stories of this tenant's bratty child happily running around thinking the entire house is her playroom. Or perhaps i shouldn't think that way. Hopefully, one day, those of our generation and the one below will all be able to reclaim that house and make new memories... memories like before... memories that will last a lifetime and beyond.
