I got a text message from Bibsy Carballo today inviting me to a memorial mass for Toti on Tuesday.
It took me several seconds to acknowledge the words, “Toti’s cremated ashes in Chicago. Don’t have details if will be brought to Manila.” and the tears came.

Say what you mean,
Don’t tell it like [...]
