GOODBYE



Yesterday, I had a wake-up call from my nephew, Elaine's brother. She passed away, the doctors tried to revive her when they brought her to the hospital but they failed. She's gone and I feel a vacant spot in my heart for the closest niece that I ever had.

Looking at her, I came to think that perhaps she stopped fighting for her life because she can no longer bear her pain. I was there the day before she died and I witnessed the unbearable pain that she felt during her spasm. I can't help thinking too that maybe, God heard her prayer, because she was asking to end it all.

We will be laying her to rest tomorrow afternoon and it would be the last time that I will be able to see her. I hope she will have the eternal peace and that the rest of us who are left behind, will continue to cherish the memories she has left deep inside each of us.

To my favorite niece and my best friend... Goodbye!

My Dear Friend,

If I were in front of you right now, I would take you into my arms and hug you. My hope would be that you could cry and allow some of your grief to pass into me so that I could help you bear your burden. Please find comfort in knowing that she is in a better place free of pain and suffering. Also know that she watching how her passing has affected those that she loves. The experience you are having now will make you a stronger person tomorrow. This is one final gift that she has given to you. =)

Thank you Jade. Losing someone very close to your heart is really painful. But I know that she wanted it this way. At least, she is free from her pain.

Thanks Barry! I'm trying to spend more time in blogging. I'm starting to have colds today so I'll visit your sites maybe tonight or early tomorrow.
