I woke up early. And as I sat on the toilet, I wondered why they had to call the toilet a TOILet since it is not a job. Perhaps, the person who coined the word has a severe constriction. And comfort room can’t even describe the immense satisfaction one gets with the exquisite experience. And, as I neared nirvana, I experienced a gestalt moment -- a realization of the great legacy Edel left behind.
He survived seven years of ALS when three is the norm. He clung even when others who dearly loved him wished he would pass on for his own sake.
Because he loved life. And his great passion for the earthiest and the most sublime is what I am dwelling on today on his first death anniversary. Those who had the fortune of knowing Edel as a friend/lover/and even enemy know what I am talking about.
Masarap mabuhay!!! Salamat, Edel, for that legacy.
Now I am ready. Off I go for the early morning mass, the columbary and the great breakfast to mark the death of a great lover of life!
carina in prayer

family and close friends pay respects at the columbary
