Almost three weeks ago, we celebrated Dadsoy’s first birthday in heaven.
That morning, I made a collage of his old photos and added music to it — a simple way of remembering him. But as I watched it play, I couldn’t hold back the tears.
I cried quietly in the car on my way to the office.
When I arrived at the building, Ate and Kuya Guard saw me wiping my eyes.
They didn’t see the usual me — the one who greets them with a bright smile every morning.
That day, they saw a daughter missing her dad deeply.
It reminded me how grief finds its way into the smallest moments — in the songs that suddenly make you stop, in familiar faces that bring back memories, or in the silence that follows when you remember the laughter that’s no longer there.
💛 A Gentle Reminder
Our loved ones may have left this world, but their memories will always live within us.
Every smile, lesson, and moment they shared continues to shape the way we love, live, and dream.
So while we still can, let’s say everything we want to say to the people we love.
Let’s make time, do things together, take pictures, and collect memories — while they can still see, hear, laugh, and feel the warmth of being loved.
Because one day, those memories will be all we have.
And they will mean everything.
🌿 A Time to Remember and Reflect
As we honor our departed loved ones this All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day, may we also use this time to:
🕯 Pray for them. Whisper a short prayer of gratitude for their life and the love they left behind.
💐 Celebrate their memory. Share their stories — the funny, the inspiring, the ordinary moments that made them who they were.
❤️ Reconnect with the living. If there’s someone you’ve been meaning to reach out to, let this be the moment.
🌄 Live their legacy. Continue their good works, their kindness, and their dreams through your own life.
This season reminds us that life is borrowed, but love is forever.
Our loved ones may be gone, but their presence remains — in the way we remember, in the way we live, and in the way we love.
Life With No Regrets
