The burial was Sunday (supposed to be Saturday but the funeral parlor had too many internment, so we buried Kuya's mom on Sunday afternoon.
I stayed home: Very hot. The same reason I didn't go to church.
This type of heat is common in Feb March April, the hot season and usually it is the cooler season in Oct Nov Dec, but it is hot and dry thanks to the El Nino.
There are a lot of poor elderly people in our neighborhood dying (we don't live in the gated community but in a normal middle class neighborhood).
I suspect it might be the influenza going around, which we all had and which put me into bed for four days the week before Kuya's mom caught it: Everyone here including the help and the cook had the same virus...
So anyway, the visitors have gone home, Kuya's daughter has gone back to her job, and Joy, who has missed a lot of business meetings, has gone to a meeting in Japan.
We are here alone with the dogs and the help, many of whom also had the flu two weeks ago and are now well.
Her favorite hymn:
