Visiting Our Dearly Departed
Because of the #COVID19 pandemic, local government units mandated that cemeteries be closed between October 29, 2021 to November 2, 2021 to avoid the spread of the disease as people tend to flock there between those dates.
Thus the weekend before the planned closure, already visited our departed, prayed for their souls and blessed them with (exorcised) holy water.
Last year, was not able to visit our dead at Manila Memorial Park as we still do not know the process being followed due to the pandemic. But today, fingers-crossed, we will be able to get in and visit them. Left the condo around 5AM (our usual schedule).
The Park is open at 7AM (which is not the case pre-pandemic) but since our visit will be quick, they allowed us in.
Next stop is Sgt. Mariano Cemetery where my Nanay, Tatay, Lolo, Lola, uncles, etc. is laid to rest. It is a stark contrast from Manila Memorial Park. We have to clean a bit of the garbage. The grill on top where we planned to have the plants' vines crawl to provide shade is broken--as if someone attempted to enter. Made a temporary, quick fix on it.
And finally, dropped by McDonald's for breakfast to-go.
