I saw this status on a Facebook account of someone I know:
“going home to the Philippines to bury my dad”
It’s shocking news. But I don’t wanna react yet. Maybe the “dad” he refers to is someone else other than his biological father. Someone whom he fondly calls “dad”. I really, really hope it’s not his biological father.
[fingers crossed]
UPDATE: text messages to people around seem to confirm that it's true. Feel so sad suddenly. Heavy heart.
