The Last Journal Entry.

I couldn't bring myself to your hospital bed. It was too much to bear, speaking of bears, I remember when we used to camp in the woods, on the look out for bears. Everything so simple just reminds me of you. All the words you've said from A to Z. Because you're so special to me, mum. It wasnt time for you to leave. Sayang hindi tayo nag pumanta sa aquarium kasi gusto mo diba? You wished to see all the fishes and all the octopi and all the sharks. But now you can't. Cause you're not here. With me. On Earth. Sana nalang, pwede tayo makita ulit. Sana.

From your one and only son, Charles.

Sayang hindi tayo nag pumanta sa aquarium kasi gusto mo diba? - It's a shame that we couldn't go to the aquarium since you wanted to, right?

Sana nalang, pwede tayo makita ulit. Sana.
- if only we could see each other again. if only.
