Dear Eunice,
It’s been 5 years. I know this is going to sound cliché and it always does, but it doesn’t seem like too long ago that you left. A lot has change, yet time seem to have passed so little. I’ll be honest; I’m starting to forget the way you were; the goofiness, the clumsiness, how you talked, how you laughed, how sarcastic and serious you can get at the same time. The time we got to really know each other was so short, that I guess there’s really no one to blame.
I don’t ever want to lose reminiscence of you, Eunice, I really don’t. But everything is just so faint now.
Yet, I’m thankful that at the very least, I got a chance to know you, who I believe till this day was almost the perfect paradigm of someone anyone would have loved and gotten love in return. Admirable and honorable, beautiful on the inside and out and always so humble and selfless putting yourself last before anyone and your family and that you were everyone’s friend in need and a friend indeed.
Peculiarly, there was no fault with you. You were supernaturally a God-sent, an angel on earth. That’s the only honest description of you that I can come up with. You would have laughed so loud
(in vanity) with an ego that would have blocked out the sun by now. Oh, I can already reenact those certain parts of memories in my head now. But it’s always just in pieces, never complete.
I wish God hadn’t taken you away, there’s no doubt in that.
Oh Eunice, if only you can see your little sister now. How much she has grown, you’ll definitely be proud of her that she’s no more the girl that hides under your shadow. Abel’s so big now and Brice is fat. I wonder what you have to say after all these years. About me, about Philip, about Waikit, about all of us. It’s odd that after all that I told my parents about, you never really met them huh? Weird. Oh btw, I have braces now! At the tender age of 22 haha! You’d pick on me forever for that.
You know, the only memories left of you are mostly just in pictures unfortunately. But I know putting you on my blog would make you really happy, not to mention proud.
Oh, I remember that period pretty clear, you were hitting on me! haha!
Always smiling even with those braces on...
These were probably one of the latest pictures of you:
PS: You're lucky i didn't post the bad pictures of you and I still got your letters and cards from standard six, I think, it’s my drawer somewhere. But I know I kept it.
PPS: We miss you.
