Last week, December 3, Eddieboy called me around 11pm... I ignored it because I'm so sleepy and tired that time... but when i woke up, I remember the missed call that I had last night... that moment, I realized that there is something wrong... Eddieboy didn't do that usually unless it is an emergency...
I fix my self up and prepared my self to got to work in Pasig. Everyone there approached me and asked me if Eddieboy called me or if I heard something from our co-workers... it sends some chills to my spine... because I knew that or what where they talking about...
When I get to the computer, I opened it and went on to my facebook account... there, I searched for my 'ninangs' account and there i saw the messages of her friends... I SMS her instantly and when I received her reply, there I confirmed that his father... my boss... and a good friend of our family passed away.
I gathered all my co-workers and told them that what they we're asking me before is true and it was confirmed. You can see all the sad faces, here some words whispering to one another... some cried, some just wanted to be alone for a moment and some just stared to something...
I served my boss for more than 14 years... there, i knew him bit by bit, he's a kind loving boss, very generous and most of all he treated us like family or one of his real family. He always make sure that everyone is doing well at work when ever he visits the plant, he talked to the supervisors and asked them if they needed some sort of support or if there are any problems... like a father to a family, he never fail to listen to us, know our problems and what we have accomplished for the day.
Now, he was placed near a church... rest in peace.
He battled he's illness like a real man, show us the way to success like a teacher, be there when we need someone - financially or not - he's always there to support us. How can we say goodbye to a boss and a mentor and also a friend... I really don't know... but I find a way or two to let it go... even if it hurts, we have to accept it. Good bye Mister Luis Antonio Cuna Mendoza, thank you for everything... we will miss you.
And yes... i also cried.
