Brevity of human life...

Regardless of your wealth life cannot be prolonged no matter how we try to keep it in existence or make it lasting...and we all know that life is only temporary. Big C is very alarming and will always keep you affray of what will happen the next minute, hours, and days. I myself experienced the harrowing feelings with our loved ones ill of that dreaded C...and no words could ever describe of the agony that tormented our family during the last ticking of their life clock. My father, my mother and even my elder sister died of that Big C. All money saved went to medicines, to chemo and to the hospital because we almost lived there in months...believe me, kahit anong dami ng resources mo kayang ubusin sa isang iglap. The old Medical City and St. Luke's Hospital were the silent witnesses of our great distress during those times. Money seemed to flow at that time just to keep them alive. But whatever you do, and no matter how we try, the depleted physical body of the patient will just only give up in time. No strength at all, eyes begging, you'll find yourself begging also to gods to take away all the pain and would want to let go of the patient who is lying helplessly while in respirator, and all those faltering digi-medical machine gauge. And time will come when the patient will finally give up.

Saw Lorna Tolentino's braveness when RF died. The love echoes from the brood and I salute her courage and all. She wins the battle, tears welled up but the love and courage is there. She's tough and meek during her hardest part, and now her lowest. After which she'll surely pull herself altogether for her children as well. Then she has all the time to heal, for her own self and the brood also. She's quite lucky because their love for each other endure till the end. Hats off to you and may you find peace and be healed in time.
