Today is my brother’s death anniversary. I am hoping we can go visit his grave soon. For now, we will be having a solemn mass for him.

I remember being so angry because my grandpa insisted on us watching a video of my mom’s wake and funeral. Why would you want to videotape the person when she’s already lying in the coffin, right? But my grandpa insisted on it. I hated the lights and the videographer going around, recording our grief. And then to insist afterwards for us to watch it, a few days after my mom was laid to rest? Crazy shiz!
