"He probably didn't know," Jeremy chuckled. "My mother told me that she was never very diligent in studies and maybe that's why I didn't feel very bad when I dropped out of school," he said and hugged her close.
"Mom threw a huge fit though… She did everything to make me at least get a high school diploma but… I couldn't study," he rocked her gently.
"Do you remember her well, Joel?" Jerlina asked. "Your mother..?"
Jeremy thought for a moment. "I used to remember her very well, even her voice used to be still fresh in my mind. I could hear it whenever I wanted. But as time passed… Whenever I see her picture I could remember her face well and her voice would come to me when I am not actively searching for it from my memory," he said.
