Dearest Skye,
In a blink, you were gone. I was just an arm’s length away
and you went without making any fuss. You did not make my heart go wild. You
did not make my knees go weak. When I woke up, your goodbye had gone by.
I am awed how you planned your exit. You waited till I came
back from a land far away. And for this I am forever grateful. You gave me the
chance to spend another night with you. You gave me the chance to cradle you in
my arms one last time.
What an obedient child you were. I whispered to you that it
was all right to let go. And you did. You had to let go.
But I can’t. I will never ever let go of your spirit. You
will be here forever with Nanay, Kuya Heaven and me.
You may have gone. But what you left behind will stay with us
until our own goodbyes.
Love, Tatay

Dearest Nilo,
You wrote about your fatherhood journey for our mag, Good Housekeeping. Lola told us about Skye's passing. I'm very sorry for your loss. The art director and I, both mothers, cried when we found out. We've never met, but your story has truly touched us.
You write beautifully; you honor Skye, your wife, your son with every entry. You had us rooting for your little angel. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
