This Eulogy was written by Mommy Wanda's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Baby Hideliza Castillo.  - - - How Do I Remember You? (A Eulogy to Mommy Wanda) It was year 2003 when I first met you as the mother of my former boyfriend and now my better half, Redel De Vera Castillo. Your sweet smile and warm greetings gave me an extraordinary hope that you would be my in-law someday and eventually it came true. I became an official part of your family in 2006 and I had the greatest chance to know you better. For more than 15 years, I have experienced the best versions of you. A good friend, this is who you are to everyone.

MLM StudyPoint Tutorial and Review Center “In the future, I hope to build my own school where every can enjoy learning in their own pace.” These are words from my good friend and Ate, May Angelu L.

To the love of my life, It's the start of another year and my heart is so grateful that I am still with you. Things have changed, that is undeniable. But what more could I ask for? This is what I have been constantly praying for — To be with you. More time with you. For the new year, I am thanking God that I get to spend my holidays with you. I only have a few days left before my life in that noisy city continues and I chose to spend it with you . Our set up is difficult. Real difficult. I feel as though I am a stranger in my own home. It feels different. Where's that place I've grown up in? Where's that place where we made so many memories together? I don't know where to stand, where to fit in. I don't know what happened. This is just different, so different. I can't help but feel sorry. I am sorry we had to go through this. I am sorry that it seems like it is unresolvable. I am sorry it turned out like this. I miss you. I miss everythi
