So my parents are leaving for Guam on August 2nd. We have lost a family member. Although my brother's wife has been his ex-wife for I believe 2 years or so..maybe less I cannot remember, she has been there more for us than my brother has ever been. She passed away on the 27th of July. I feel guilty because I have to admit to myself I do not remember her that well. Unfortunately, this seems to happen a lot when it comes to the years at AAU, between 2005-2007. It is like my memory died...I feel like I was working too much and going to school mechanically so I cannot remember things outside of that. I am disappointed in myself that I do not have that many memories of my Ate Therese.
I do remember feeling like she was an amazing woman. My brother did not deserve to have such a strong woman as a wife. She was better than him, I know that sounds harsh but he really did not deserve a loyal woman like her. She was strong, not only mentally but also physically. She could hold her own, I will never forget that about her. Rest in peace, Ate Therese. Our family loves you so much and we will do the best that we can to take care of the kids. I hope you are happy wherever you are, because you have always deserved better. I am so sorry we were unable to give that to you.
I do not doubt that they have my Ate Therese's strength.
Honestly, I can only hope the kids are basically nothing like my brother and more like my Ate Therese.
