Gelatissimo, Cebu
This particular post is very hard to write. Two days ago, my husband and I received some very bad news from my in-laws.
“Your mother has a tumor,” my father-in-law said softly on the phone. It instantly broke my heart and Hubby and I sat in our chairs immobilized and speechless.
I finally stood up, nudged him, and said, “Come on, let’s go grab something sweet. I need something right away.” We quickly left the house and found ourselves at Gelatissimo, Ayala Center.
We ordered and shared a 3 scoops cup (P180): Choc Hazelnut, Pistachio, and Choc Mint. Pistachio is my husband’s favorite at Gelatissimo and he orders it every time. We ate in silence the whole time, afraid to open the dreaded topic.
“Why do I still feel so numb?”, Hubby asked when we were done eating, breaking the silence.
Not so long ago, I remember Hubby telling me how happy we’ve been for a while and he was fearing the repercussion. Life is made of two things: the good and the bad. For every action, there is an equal reaction. And here we are now, in the middle of it all. You just know that everything changes from here on; again, nothing will ever be the same again.
I fear I am losing a mother for the second time in my life. For now, exams and tests still have to be done to diagnose if it’s cancer or not.
This sucks.
