The month of May is the center of this short narrative. Coping with sadness with the loss of a
loved one. Victoria, Pepeng's daughter and the sister of the narrator, died in May. This narrative
describes a celebration in which young girls dress in white with blue girdles during the month of
May. This group of young girls would sing and throw flowers down the isle until it was completely
covered. The Blessed Virgin Mother is supposed to thread the route. May of last year was
Victoria's final May. It was also her last time taking part in the floral rites. She has been a singing
flower girl since she was six years old. Victoria's mother attempted to express and comprehend
her husband's sorrow. However, she was unaware of the intensity of her husband's concealed
emotion. She tried but failed to empathize with him.
His father's first real loss is Victoria. Pepeng's anguish is unbearable and profound. So this is the
end. So that's what it's like to die. And for the first time since Victoria died and was buried, they
finally come to terms with the fact that Victoria is dead—really and truly dead.
The celebration that the story is talking about is probably Flores de Mayo. A big celebration is
held in the month of May, one of the Philippines' reportedly 42,000 festivities. This is the Flores
de Mayo (Spanish for May Flowers), a month-long celebration dedicated to the Blessed Virgin
Mary. This is when the story happened. The story was first perplexing to me, possibly due to the
way he worded it. Though this structure helped it to stand out for me.
Finally, this narrative showed us that no matter how much you value your life, it can still be taken
away from you. I can tell how much effort the author put into this when reading it. The father's
emotion, his anguish, was oozing through the story's words and letters. I'd definitely start reading
his other stories as well.
