Laid To Rest
My Tatay is finally laid to rest today at Sgt. Mariano Cemetery in Pasay City. His wake was at the Rizal Funeral Homes. Now, my Nanay and Tatay are together in His Kingdom.
Last Wednesday, received a call in the office that Tatay was brought to the hospital. My Kuya brought him to the Emergency Room of the Manila Adventist Medical Center (previously Manila Sanitarium). The doctor suggested that Tatay be at the ICU so he can be monitored overnight instead of in a regular room. He was actually giving jokes when we left him at the ICU. Thus, my Kuya and I are confident that Tatay would be leaving the ICU the following day.
Very early morning, my Kuya received a call from the hospital that we should go there. Tatay already had two flat lines, they have to revive him twice.
It is raining due to Typhoon Gener. But the rain is not as heavy as in the other parts of the country which already caused floods. When Tatay is about to enter the Sta. Clara Parish Church, the sun shone--like its welcoming him. When we reached the cemetery. the rain only fell heavily when he is already infront of the tomb.
N.B. One of those who attended the funeral noticed a black and white butterfly near the tomb. It did not leave even if the rain is heavy. Could it be...?
L: Eternal rest grant unto the soul of Miguel Alcera, O Lord.
R: And let perpetual light shine upon him.
L: May he rest in peace.
R: Amen.
L: May the soul of Miguel ALcera and all the sols of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
R: Amen.
