Remembering Karl

We went on my friends funeral yesterday. I am with my High School best of friends who used to be closed with Karl too. We decided to go after lunch so that the funeral is not crowded yet and we can able to talk to his parents and siblings. We arrived there around 1 PM. We are just 3 when we arrived and my other High School classmates arrived afterwards.

This is Chu and Jo, my High School friends. We were schoolmates since 2nd year High School up to 4th year High School but Karl was our classmate during last school year. It was year 2008. We are incomplete by this moment, my other friends was not able to go on the funeral because there's no person to looked after on her son. That friend of mine was also the ex girlfriend of Karl and the reason why we got closed to this guy. The other one was in Bataan and she cant able to go because there's no public transportstion yet.

This is Karl coffin. At first I dont want to see him inside that coffin. I cant 😢 But my friends told me that even just a glance. They told me that the person inside the coffin was not look like the face of my friend. They told me that he lost weight , he's face was not chubby as he is when he was still alive. I didnt look on his face inside the coffin. I just stayed on my seat and remembering the happy memories of Ivan.

That time, the funeral was not crowded. We managed to talked to his younger brother about what happened before he admitted. It is so sad to know those pain that he felt and still he wants to fight. We also knew that aside from the heart disease, he has also a kidney failure due to complications and that complications already spread on his blood. He died because of cardiac arrest.

His younger brother said the maybe Karl already finished his mission in earth. You know what? Hes the one who supports the study of his 3 younger brothers and now they are all graduated. Their youngest brother graduated last February 2020.

He has also a dream of having his own family. After his younger brother graduated, he immediately proposed to her girlfriend but sadly, he died young. I couldn't imagined that emotions of his girlfriends after loosing Karl 😢

After we finished on talking to his brother, we had a little conversation about our High School life. We remember all the funny moment with Karl. We laughed at the funeral and I know he is also laughing beside us knowing that he leaves a happy memories to us.

We also made a video call with my friend on Bataan to see Karl

And from that screenshot I saw Karl inside the coffin. He's face looked stressed. You can see the pain that he felt before loosing his life 😭 He's not look alike on the Karl that I know.

Finally I had the guts to looked on him in the coffin. I looked at him once and after a while I want to look again 😢 I told him that I was sorry and thanked him for the happy memories that we shared.

After 4 hours of staying on his side we already leave but we will visited him again tommorow because tommorow is his 29th birthday and also his last night.

After I arrived at our house yesterday, I always imagined his face inside the coffin. I didnt sleep well last night because I thought of him. Haysssss

I wrote this article while thinking of him. Tulala padin ako. Hayss
