rest in peace tagui...

its been a year since my cuzzin, miguel taguiwalo passed away. we found something in todays paper and found out that his parents arranged for this.



the drawing is one of the self portraits he made. he was a great artist, a great person. we were not oh so close...because we lived so far away and were seldomly together, but we did love each other, that i am sure of.

he loved che guevarra.

he loved art, he loved drawing. he loved being able to express himself with his art.

he loved the UPFA people, the people who he could be himself to, the people who made him smile, the people who made his life complete.

he loved UP FA, it was his home away from home, a place where he could express himself.

he love his family, he loved us.

I admired him for being so true to himself, i loved him for being such a good guy. I loved him for being so strong, he had a major operation a month before he died, he had a triple bypass..he was only 18 when it happened, he was only 18 when he left us. I know that he's in a better place now, looking down on us and smiling because we still remember him. he may even be drawing us right now.I hope you're doing fine there cuz. Keep on sketching/drawing/painting. Stay happy.

I miss you tagui, i really do. I hope you know that i love you, i hope you felt my love even when you were alive...Tears are streaking down my face while writing this... I miss you so much cuz... we were gonna be adults together, we were gonna grow old together.. i was gonna go to your artshows and brag to the people there that the artist was my cuzzin...you were the closest i had to a brother.

friends, please spare a minute of your time to say a short prayer for my cousin....i would really really appreciate it. thank you.

once again tagui/mike/miguel/bones, i love you !
