:(

Ate E just called me. Crying. Kuya A is not responding to her anymore. He's getting weaker by the hour and his vitals are low. How do you comfort someone whose husband is about to pass away before her very eyes? They met in the Philippines. Ate E lived with us and Kuya A was our neighbor. They got married and got pregnant. Kuya A had to leave the country for the US. They were in a long distance relationship for 7 years. Now with 2 little boys and with almost 2 years of being reunited in the States they are faced with the hardest circumstance of all - Death. Kuya A was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in April of this year. After a series of confinement at the hospital he now finds himself in the hospice. It's like a waiting room for death. He's just 43 with so many dreams and plans for his family. Why is he in that place? I couldn't find the words to make Ate E feel better. There are no words really. No one is ever ready in losing a loved one. I just told her that God has plans for us and that we should just leave it all up to him. But deep inside of me I am crying. Kuya A doesn't have a bad bone in him. They loved each other so much. They looked like high school sweethearts showering each other with affection all the time. Everytime I picture Kuya A's predicament, I shake my head. Why?? God has the answer and it's always a good one. I trust him and I guess that's what Ate E just needs to do too. God will never let us down.
