Ylan’s Refuge

There’s an old cliche among us Filipinos that living is expensive, but dying is even more expensive! It’s kinda odd but somehow has truth in it especially to people having a hard time trying to make ends meet. I once saw this documentary on TV that featured a family dealing with the loss of a family member. It’s already a turmoil having to deal with the grief but to deal with funeral cost is another story. The wife of the deceased even said she doesn’t have the time to mourn because she’s busy thinking of ways to raise money. It’s a little relief that the neighbors helped seek funds from the local baranggay officials. It’s really heartbreaking. After i saw the documentary, i’m more than appreciative of the simple things that i have. From somewhere, more people are suffering.
