Symbols never die, but just fade unto distant memory

August 3, 2009

The first essay I ever wrote was in third grade. It was on one of those Grade 4 pads, like intermediate ones you use on high school, only smaller. I used a pink pen because the color was pretty. I wrote about Cory Aquino, the first woman president, and how awesome she is. My mom kept that essay in a drawer for many, many years, and I suspect she still has it.

 

Everything that needs to be said about Cory Aquino has been said since her death last Saturday.

 

She will be remembered well.
