Beautiful Sunday -The Death of The Mother of My Male Employer

Life was too short for the death of the 14 years old nephew of my boss as I'd posted last time. We were still in the time of sorrow missing the son of the youngest sister of my make Boss. He was so handsome and best in playing football but he gone too soon. After one weeks of his death, his grandmother follow him. It's so hard time for the family especially the mother of the young child who died. She was so sicked and couldn't almost accept that they were gone at almost the same week. Still recovering the pain but, I know Muslim people are different from us. They have earlier understanding and acceptance though pain is in their heart.

In this house full of happiness few months ago because of the first wedding of the eldest daughter turned into sad looking after the death of the two important members of the family.

Thus is the house of the old woman, the grandmother but she died in her daughter's home during after the death of the child. She loved the grandson who was looking like her. They had same faces. Grandma was beautiful and grandson was so handsome and they went to heaven in the same week.

The house of the mother of my boss is located at the back part of my employer's house. At this moment,I am looking at their house. It's different when someone died from that house. And you know, that old woman lovede si much. We were living together in 7 years in the old house before. She was so kind to me. Honestly, she didn't love so much to their maid as she loved me. Sometimes, I hide myself in front of their maid to avoid jealous. I didn't want that my friend saw her employer taking care with love to me while, she was not closed to her. My friend was an Indonesian woman.

The week of their death, we experienced cloudy week with rain. It coincidence to our deep sorrow about the death of the two.

This is my candle lighting I offer for them. As a Filipino, it's our tradition lighting candle in birthday and death. Here, no candle, no rosary of even bible sharing during the wake.

During the wake of dead person here, they would be buried under the earth before 24 hours. The family and visitors mourning for three days with only water given without coffee and tea but people give foods for lunch and dinner.

If husband died, wife couldn't go outside for 1 year. And could remary after 1 year if ever. But if the wife is dead, the man could have another wife even in early stage of the death of his wife. That's information I got from my boss.

Rest in peace to them both.
Thats all for today and more next time.

Love lots,
