The morning Chris died, we did not do unusual things. We talked, I remember saying to him while he was still lying on the bed and hugging me while I was standing on the edge, “one day, papayat din ako.” Then he smiled.
I said bye to him as I need to be early for work, it was our brand review presentation that day. We kissed then I wiped my lips and joked, “Laway!” He smiled and said, “Sorry!”
I said bye on my way down the stairs while he was preparing for work.
That was the last time I heard his voice, touched him and hugged him.
