Nagpunta kami sa necrological service para sa yumaong ina ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta na si Mommy Elaine nu’ng Lunes ng gabi sa Santuario de San Antonio, Makati City.
Naging emosyonal nga si Sharon habang ibinabahagi ang kanyang eulogy. Inamin ni Mega na muntik na siyang hindi makadalo sa necrological service ng ina dahil bigla siyang na-high blood dala na rin siguro ng stress at sobrang pag-iisip at pagdadalamhati.
“Fourteen years ago, I had everything—a good husband, daughter who was still my baby (KC), and a coming daughter (Frankie), and what I wanted for a career. I thought I was at the top of the world (and) my father (si dating Pasay City Mayor Pablo Cuneta) left me with all these other things I was grateful for,” panimula ni Mega.
“Fourteen years later, we’re all here today, my mother is in a box. And the day she died, sabi ko, I was kind of afraid of becoming an orphan today. I cannot not be someone’s baby anymore.
And it’s almost Christmas and I don’t know how to spend Christmas without my mom, kasi dalawa lang kami ni Kuya (Chet) na magkapatid.”
“Si Mommy, ‘pag meron akong shooting, lahat ng nakasama ko sa pelikula, sa TV shows ko, lahat ng director, lahat ng artista, lahat ng action stars, lahat ng dramatic actors at actresses na nakapiling ko sa pelikula, lahat ‘yan na-experience yung busog na busog sila ‘pag dadalaw si Mommy.
Parang laging last supper, laging fiesta sa kanya talaga. Yun ang pagpapakita niya ng pagmamahal,” bahagi pa ng naging eulogy ng mommy ni KC.
Pagpapatuloy pa ni Sharon sa kanyang eulogy, “Part of me is still in denial (sa pagyao ng ina), and so my husband (Kiko Pangilinan) had the very hard job of trying to balance things that way,” na ang tinutukoy nga ay ang pag-aasikaso ng kanyang mister kay Mommy Elaine habang nasa ospital ito dahil hindi kayang makita ni Mega ang ina na naghihirap.
“I just want to thank all our titas and titos who came, who understood that we really haven’t faced the fact that she has left. I really don’t want to be here. I have not wanted to come since Mommy died.
The day that she passed away, my plan was to fly somewhere. “And my amazing husband, who was the one who talked to all the doctors, I don’t know how he did it kasi po binabalanse niya ‘yon,” sabi pa ng singer-actress-TV host.
“I have one million things that I can say. She was at the ICU for two months. I’m very sure she didn’t expect to die when she did, but I’m also very sure that she and Papa are together na and happy, and with Lolo and Lola and all their friends, and two children
I lost. I hope to see them all again, but I hope not very soon because my children are very small pa, but I know one day we’ll all be together,” aniya pa.
Pinasalamatan din niya ang lahat ng kapamilya, kaanak, mga kaibigan at mga katrabaho na nakiramay sa kanila, “Thank you everyone for joining us tonight in honouring my mother. I love you, my Mommy.
Napakarami mo mang tinawag na anak, tinawag na apo, ako ang anak ni Elaine na kaisa-isang babae and I will die very proud of that.”
