One of the Princesses in Fairytales

Although a death of a love one is a sad moment, attending funeral brings sweet reunion with relatives that we grew up with.

At my Aunt's Lita wake last week, I was very happy to see my cousin, Ate Millet.  She is now based in America and working as an educator.  She was given an award last year for being one of the best teacher/educator.

Although my female cousins are all beautiful, it was Ate Millet whom I find the prettiest when I was just six years old. I remember looking at Ate Omeng, as she was called when we were young, with awe. I used to think she's one of the princesses in fairytales because she's as white as Snow White, as tall as Belle, as slim as Jasmin, and as beautiful as Aurora. 

Peace to all my other cousins. You are all beautiful, too. It runs in our blood, right? (wink, wink!)
