don't be sad, rather celebrate the life she lived, the legacy she left and the love that lay beneath the words she once said.
to a woman of grace and faith, thank you. forget she died but always remember she lived. forget her failures but remember the freedom she fought for. forget her mistakes but remember how she once bonded the Filipinos and took away the social classes. forget how she was an inexperienced politician but remember how good of a mother she was and how rooted to her faith she was.
remember how she smiled all her troubles and pains away and how she never shed tears for the painful battle she fought. remember the unending love between a husband and a wife that encompasses time and the limits of life. that even after death, the love remained to keep her holding on, continue the war against dictatorship and not give up.
now, she is not only with God but with the only man she loved all her life.

here's to a woman of justice and freedom.
