Just last week you could probably recall a certain news about a fire in Concepcion, Malabon. I live in the next barangay after. The fire devoured lives and properties far beyond expected...
I have many relatives in both my mom and dad's side that I truly don't know (by name, face or even by feelings). I have a complicated set of family (some tends to have 10-12 children on different spouses... or they tried to have many sons and daughters that are raised in a far away province). Me and my sisters are not even close to our cousins in my father side...
In the ruins of the devastation made by the fire that week a certain sight just made me think...
"Seen in a house in the middle of two other houses burned to ashes was the corpses of two elderly... a man and his wife... that seems to embrace each other while accepting the fate of death... this certain couple was my mom's grandmother's sibling and spouse... in short my great grandafather and great grandmother..."
It was said that because of a their age they couldn't afford to leave the place and just accepted the fate of being together 'til death...
It felt different for me for I truly don't know these people... I must have seen them when I was still a kid but couldn't recall or remember... for what it's worth, my mom and dad and other family members would go to the one night only wake for their bodies were almost charcoal that time. The son's and daughters of my greatgranddad and mom decided to just cremate the remains and have the wake for a day...
The incident just made me think that love truly goes a long way... and sometimes disastrous events can truly have a bittersweet hint to it...
"My great grandfather could actually get out of the house but he decided to save my great grand mom instead... too bad a burning post already trapped them in the burning edifice..."
May their souls rest in peace - forever loving in paradise...
