Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

Although you are in heaven we still celebrate your birthday
because we wish you are here on this
special day.
Yesterday it was my Lola’s birthday she would have been one
hundred plus years old.
We would always cook pancit to feed everyone in the house.
To us even if she is not with us in our spirit and memories remain with us.
There are some people who celebrate their love ones when
they have already left us. We set a prayer gather with family and friends.
We light up a candle to enlighten their spirits to wish them
a happy birthday.
We visit their grave site and bring food and flowers to have
a picnic and talk to them with our family and friends.
This way even if they are not next to us we still get to
spend time with each other.
This is how we show how much we love and gratitude our loves
ones mean to us.
