When more and more of your elders are passing on. In the past 4 months alone:
- Dad of my wild friend. I've known him for 25 yrs and even if my friend is based abroad, I would still drop off gifts for him, He passed alone because all his children are abroad![]()
- my Lola - She was 92 yrs old and my favorite (aside from my direct Lola)
- Dad of my neighborhood friend. I've known him since I had any memory. We lost touch for many years and recently became FB friends but he passed at 86I message with him more than my friend because we have a shared hatred for Duterte.
- Dad of my childhood BFF. I've known him since I was 4 yrs old. He was late 70s na but I was expecting him to easily reach his 80s. I was shocked when my childhood BFF told me 2 days ago. It was so heartbreaking when she told me she wanted to come to my house the same day she found out but she couldn't hug me anyway.
I will never complain na when my Aunties/Titas still treat me like a child even at this age (we will always be children in the eyes of our elders).

you know you're old,
when the wakes you go to, have less and less visitors.

When you have to remind yourself to stop calling people Kuya and Ate coz most of them are younger than you now.
when they stand up and give their seat to you in the LRT!
the first time it happened,
i had to look around and look for that elderly gentleman the young kid was giving his seat to.
