Kuya, we are trying

Kuya, I'm sure you'll be happy that we all have decided to grant you last wish, be resting next to Berto.

It's been tough for all of us to come to one circle and talk about what we need to do in order to grant your wish. Everyone has their own opinion and went for it without discussion with the whole family.

I was finally able to come to my senses that this will be our last service to you as our big brother. Ate and I decided to split the cost for the digging part. I decided to talked to ate first if she would agree. I was relieved when she called me back to tell me that she will. And then I called neneng to figure out how and when I can talk to manay. At the end of the day, I was able to talked to manay and she agreed to wish your grant and she's happy about my effort.

I could've decided this at first if I was included in making decission by Jenelyn. I gave her a bit of my part of frustration. She is one fiesty kid of yours. She wasted her money on some place that you didn't want to be at. So I told her that I will find money to grant your wish. I asked her if she would find money to contribute 18,700 that we need and she said "i don't have money anymore". I am not sure if how much her parents-in-law gave her. I know they did but Jenelyn didn't inform/mention it us to us at all. It's a shame that she showed not  respect to manay, neneng and all. I told her she should've double confirm with us of whatever she heard and whatever she decided and to make sure we all agreed.

But, in any event , we are trying our best to give you what you wanted. We will make you happy, don't you worry. I hope you tell "dong" that we said hi and to tatay too. Don't be partying too much over there..hehe

Herb sent half of 18,700pesos as our part. Ate supposedly to send hers at the end of this afternoon via Western Union. And to add some more happiness, I was able to talked to manay Aurora and she said she will text me this afternoon after she sends her donations via Western Union also. And I really hope she will come thru. As you know it's difficult to find money.

It's a kao's at neneng's house as you may know. All of your kids are there plus their kids. But happy to see that there are quite a bit of people coming around at night to give you and us company.

I might have to say that there will be no way that Daday will be around before you go. I tried my best to covinced Neneng to find her but I got too imotional with her and Inay knew how I felt about her being with you when you go. At least I and Ate are in our best behaviour and won't trow tantrum.

I hope to God she is also alright. I really do. Me and Ate will certainly missed the day but you know we are too far away. I wish we have lots of money..

bye for now kuya.
