comic relief

called mama's phone and papa answered.
we talked for several minutes
asking how each other was doing
and reflecting how fleeting life can be.
out of habit, i asked him if he already had dinner
he answered not yet and that i should eat soon too.
i told him it's past 10 and had mine hours earlier.

"kinsa diay ni?"
"si joy, pa"
"haha, abi nako si ivy."

papa and mama often mix us up.
i called ivy after and confirmed that
when she called papa minutes earlier
he thought she was me.

thankful i was able to tell papa i love him
before hanging up.
