My Dear Sher,
love the life that was not taken away from you...
...when you were unprepared;
You know you'll do great things as you go...
Embrace salvation...
Do more...

I love you.

On March 11, 2009,

6 People went for a swim. There was a sudden tidal rush, and the underwater current dragged down even those who could swim. 3 people were able to make it to shore to get help. The other three who were left are me, and my everdearest cousin, Kuya Ec (Eric) and my little nephew, Baby Vaughn, whom Ec lifted up from the water up to his last unsought breath, and that was the last time I saw him - not dying, but on his final act of living... sacrificing his own life to save another... How Baby and I survived was a miracle performed by God, with the sacrifice of my cousin, a hero.

Kuya Ec died that day, a hero, an angel at 26 years old. Baby Vaughn celebrated his 6th birthday on March 17, 2009.

Thank you so much Kuya Ec, for being a hero even when you were still alive... You have not died in vain, and your story will always be light that would guide us towards you, who have joined our Heavenly Father.

Thank you so much Dear Lord, for securing a place for our beloved Kuya Ec in your Kingdom... and for giving the 5 of us who remained, a chance to do more good on Earth. All glory and honor are yours forever...

Book of Wisdom 3:1-9

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them.

In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery:

And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace.

And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.

Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.

As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them.

The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds.

They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

They that trust in him, shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love shall rest in him: for grace and peace is to his elect.

thank you my dear friend :love:

A restless soul that exudes melancholy;
A black heart drowning in euphoria;
A great mind scarce in madness
