To my mom, Mimi was the most loyal of friends and interlocutors, a fellow soldier and deracinated transplant from the Philippines. Someone to reminisce with about the past and the life they left behind and to commiserate with about the discontents of their present.
To me, Mimi was an aunt. She was the first glamourous person I met, a gamine beauty, gregarious, and full of folk wisdom from the benefits of drinking tea to applying make-up as sunscreen. Tita Mimi always reminded me of Audrey Hepburn’s Holly Golightly character in Breakfast at Tiffany’s: always put-together, sociable, and up for a laugh, a “free spirit,” and a “wild thing.” She was unflinching in her candor and uproarious in the stories she told about herself (never shying away from the embarrassing details but having the wisdom to recognize that laughter is cathartic and life’s peccadillos not worth stressing about). And her ‘don’t take guff from anybody’ attitude to life is a disposition that I might have absorbed, over the twenty and more years that I knew her.
But I think something underrated about Tita Mima was her thoughtfulness and consideration.
Before moving to the States for school, Tita Mimi and Tito Mark drove to Whitby, just to see me off, with samosas (a keychain and other useful miscellany, besides) and a card in hand. Tita Mimi hardly left her home during the last few years as she was especially vulnerable to the pandemic. I was so touched that she hazarded schlepping all that way just to wish me luck and good courage.
Whenever a birthday or Christmas was coming around, you could always rely on receiving a kind note in the mail and something extra for a fancy dinner or a night out at the movies. The intention behind such a gesture and its consistency, an invitation to enjoy life, is something I will profoundly miss.
I will miss Tita Mimi forever.

I first met Mimi at a Filipino party in the summer of 1988. My family and I just arrived in Canada and I was terribly homesick. Nothing in the way of a budding friendship came out of that first meeting: no phone number exchanges or even a token promise of getting in touch. I did not see her again until many years later. It was an accidental meeting at the TD Tower in Toronto. I could not remember her name but I knew that I have met her before. She was working at TD Bank and so was I. I guess our friendship started right there. We started with occasional lunches which became a regular fare. We enjoyed walking and window shopping after lunch, and boy, did she like buying clothes even if she did not need them.
Mimi was an easy going person and she was real: what you see is what you get. She was vibrant and so full of life. She was a good listener: I could always rely on her being at the other end of the line when I had problems. She did not have to say anything to appease me or make me feel better. She made me feel better by just listening.
Mimi and I went on several trips together. I distinctly remember our trip to the Philippines in December of 1997. She came with me and my family to Baguio and Los Banos. I also have fond memories of our drives to Ottawa on numerous occasions to visit my sister as well as the many trips we made to Guelph when our family dog was getting treatment at the cancer hospital there. For many years, she, Mark and Derek spent Christmas eves at our house - a tradition that was broken when she became too ill to make the long drive to Whitby.
I am sad that she is gone but there is relief in knowing that her physical pain is over. I am sure that she fought till the end and I would like to think that she did not go in a whimper. She was a fighter after all.
I will miss you Mimi. Rest in peace. . .
