It’s still so hard to believe that I’m saying goodbye to you, my friend, my classmate, and one of the gentlest and kindest people I’ve ever known. Since Grade 7, we’ve shared so many memories together—our laughter, silly moments, and all those little things that made our school days memorable. We lost our chance to be classmates around Grades 9–10 because of the pandemic, but I’m really grateful that we became classmates again in Grades 11 and 12. During those years, I got to know you more as the gentle, respectful, and good person that you were. Every time mag-gara-gara ko nimo or mosabak-sabak ko sa imoha, you never got angry. You were always patient with me, and I’ll always remember that kindness.🫶😭
This video will always be special to me because it reminds me of one of our simple but beautiful memories. It was the time Ma’am Bacus asked us to write a tula, and you wrote one and dedicated it to me. At that time, I didn’t know that this little moment would someday become a memory I would hold so dearly. Looking at this video (not edited) now brings back so many memories of our classroom days. I wish we had more time to create more memories, more laughs, and more moments together. It hurts knowing that we won’t get the chance to experience those simple days again, but I will always be thankful that I got to share a part of my life with you.
Thank you for all the memories, for your kindness, your patience, and for simply being a good friend and classmate. You may have left us too soon, but the memories you left behind will always remain with us. I hope you are now at peace, free from all pain and worries. Rest peacefully, my dear friend and classmate. 🕊️🤍 Dili gyud tika kalimtan. You will always be remembered, always be missed, and forever be part of the beautiful memories we made during our younger years. Thank you for being part of my story. Until we meet again, my friend. Fly high and rest well, Jhon Paul. 🕊️🤍😭
