“Parang panaginip lang ang lahat na sana pag gising ko ikaw agad ang makikita ko na masaya, masigla, at Punong puno ng ligaya. Napaka Hirap sa pakiramdam, ndi ko alam ang gagawin ko dahil ngayon palang miss na miss na kita,” part of his captions reads.
[I hope everything is just a dream and that when you wake up you will see her happy, lively, and full of joy. It’s so hard on my feelings. I don’t what I will do, because right now I already miss you so much.]
Rayver then thanked his mother.
“Maraming salamat sa lahat mama ngayon ay makakapahinga ka na sa isang napakagandang lugar kung saan ay pede kang sumayaw At kumanta kasama ang mga anghel,” he said.
[Thank you for everything, mama. You can now rest in a very beautiful place where you can dance and sing with angels.]
“At ang ating Panginoong Diyos, Mahal na Mahal kita mama palagi kang mananatili sa puso at isipan ko kahit na anong mangyari, Paalam aming Reyna,” he added.
