My Friend Will
By Mila D. Aguilar
She passed out,
My friend did,
To be shown
Heaven on earth.
Air cleared
Leaves sprouting
Everywhere
Beast gone.
What a sight
It was! People
Smiling
Ear to ear
As they saw
Each other
On the street,
And not only
Filipinos.
She will return
To tell us
About it.
My friend will
Wake up
To tell us
About it.
Facebook status and photo of Rolly Fernandez when he thanked those who wished his wife and family well:
“My family and I thank friends and other family members who came to root for my wife Babeth. That is her painting behind me, her gift to our grandchild Kai on her first birthday. Babeth e-mailed this photo and calls it perfect for TBT because I am “kainis guwapo!” She is gaining strength and is blogging again. It has been a month since her confinement. We give glory to God that she has emerged renewed.”
