LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
FOR MY TWO DAUGHTERS
I am of sound mind and body
When I wrote this simple testament
Wherein I bequeath something very precious
To my two beloved daughters
Susan and Susan...
I wonder why your mother named you two as such
And now it is so hard for me to
Identify correctly
To whom I am leaving
What..
But maybe she loved the name Susan soooo much
Because THAT was also her name...
But, both of you are precious to me
Both of you are apples of my eyes
Since I have two and
Both have served and loved me well
In this life
I am leaving you, Susan the first
The house in Dixon street
And to you Susan the second,
the cottage in Orillia
Both the same in equity, both have sentimental
Values to us all...
Who is Susan first, and who is Susan second?
You have to go home back to Pangasinan
I left some papers to a certain Atty. Orallo in Asingan
He will know the purpose of your visit
Which is to know your identities
So you will know, who deserves what..
I also stipulated that both of you should
Stay with my kumpare's house house in
Sitio Binmantay
At least for a month
So you may know where,
How, and wherefore of your
Birth rights and responsibilities
At the end of the month
Atty Orallo will open that envelope
So you will know,
Who is who
Because the person who does not know where he/she came from
Won't ever know the place where he/she is bound for......
Good luck, my darlings..
This is not a joke because I love both of you
And I will be watching you
Every step of the way....
your DAD
ps: I LOVE YOU BOTH FOR ETERNITY....

This Christmas time I remember the many Christmasses I spent abroad missing home. It is very curious that it takes absence to make us appreciate our hometown.
But it is explainable, how can we miss something that's near? When I was growing up in the barrio, all we were talking was how we could get out and go to the city or abroad, and make ourselves something big.
I guess this life has its way of teaching us how to love. Christians tell us that this life is a passage to the next. Life is all about love. So, missing home when one is away might be one way of life teaching us how to love, in this case our hometown, our culture, where we come from.
It would be really nice if we can travel at the speed of light; then we can be back home, heck we can even live back in the barrio and work abroad.
I wish technology will make leaps regarding this, even not at the speed of light just even like a 2 hour travel between opposite sides of the earth.
That sure is fun. When will that happen? I believe it will, its just a matter of time.
