Today it is exactly one year since Titi lost his brave fight.
In the year since, Lek took up parenting Nicky by herself, making sure he went to school and all his after school activities. Though she is a Buddhist, she brought him to Mass every Saturday evening. It was what Titi wanted.
His was a life shortened by cancer. It's not what he would have wanted, I know. He wanted so much to live that he did everything the doctors asked. To Titi, cancer wasn't reality. It was a mere inconvenience. It irritated him to be so interrupted. To him, life was better spent centered around Nicky and Lek. On his list of things to do when he got well, he wrote "Always the two."
