It is a fact of life that nothing lasts forever, neither happiness nor sorrow. We grieve for the past that will never come again yet we retain the magical capability of making the past come alive in our memory. Sadly, this is all that we can do and we carry with us the smells, colors, feelings, impulses that make up our memories. So it is that Papoy savored the moment when he saw Ira again in Cagayan de Oro (CDO). She was shy at first, not having seen him in a while but she warmed to him after a while.

Only he could feel the pangs of separation that is soon to plague his heart as he savors each moment when he could stay with her and talk to her. For, who knows when the chance would come again when he can see her? To be sure, he is not going to see her as she grows and begins to see the world in a different way everyday. It would be a great treat to watch her grow and share mornings with her as they play their games.

When she last visited with him in Dumaguete, she was upset that he mentioned flowers and declared, "Bayot si Papoy!" She was quite cross because in her young mind, flowers should only be associated and appreciated by girls and young women. For him to mention flowers was somehow unseemly and it took a while before she rid herself ot the notion that her Papoy was effeminate.
