Felicidad Gorospe So or Aling Fely in short was our long time family friend since my childhood days in 1976. Aling Fely's daughter, Jonna was my classmate in kindergarten. Aling Fely and my mother were talking and chatting each other often outside of the school while waiting for us to finish our classes. From then, my mother and Aling Fely became friends.
Aling Fely was a vendor for a long time already in Sangandaan, Caloocan City. Her store was located along General San Miguel Steet near to A. Mabini Street and Sangandaan Public Market. On that time, she was selling newspapers, magazines, fruits, cigarettes, softdrinks, candies, and so on. From being a vendor, she finished her kids in their studies.
My mother's others friends Corazon Gallardo Uy and Baby Enriquez Garces become friends in 1979. Their kids and my brothers became classmates in elementary. They met each other often at the school.
Later, all our family friends become friends to each other when they become godparents of my brothers in their baptism. From then, they become friends until we migrated to USA in 1992.
Although we are living in USA since 1992, we still communicate with them by mail, telephone, and right now by text messages, and social media like Facebook.
Unfortunately, our family friend, Aling Fely died in 2012 from colon cancer. We're so sad for the loss of our family friend. Aling Fely is also considered almost my aunt because she's a close friend of my mother since my childhood days.
Aling Fely's children and grandchildren are recently our friends in Facebook and we are still keep in touch with each other although she's passed away already.
