The
Fabe boys and the Fabe grandkids celebrated Mama's birthday today.
Today was also Papa's death anniversary. Twenty-four years ago, Papa
waited for Mama's birthday on October 5 and celebrated it with her the
final time in his ward at the Lung
Center, before finally giving his last breath early morning of October
6. It was already his sixth month in the hospital and for him to have
waited for Mama's birthday, fighting the disease ravaging his lungs,
before finally saying goodbye, had true love written all over it, and
for me to witness that at a very impressionable age, with all the
stories of annulments and separations and divorces and all the bickering
celebrity couples at each others necks, made me feel really fortunate
and secure, that my own parents really loved each other.
