Simple Thoughts of Mine

Archive for the ‘my family… friends …’ Category

Losing a friend because of death is mournful.  That’s what I felt this morning when we visited Sir Dave (teacher at Teresa NHS) at their house but we were told that he was rushed to the hospital.  Did he use an air ambulance service? Coz if he does, it might be serious.  So we left and headed to Morong Provincial Hospital in Morong, Rizal.  To our surprise we were 10 minutes late.  Late from what?  Sir Dave grasped his last breath 10 minutes before we arrived.

As we entered the room, we heard his family and relatives weeping and that moment we knew that he already passed away from colon cancer.  What annoying is that the doctor only confirmed his death after 30 minutes!!!  My gosh!! As if I wanna tell the doctor…  yes we already know.  Sir Dave is only 39 years old.  Too young to die not to mention that he left his 7-year and 3-month old kids.  Poor little angels they won’t grow up with their father.  To the family of my good friend, my condolences and to you Sir Dave… rest in peace and I know you’re now with our God, our Creator.

Right now I am writing this article at Marikina Valley Medical Center.  Sean Kirk is being confined for the very first time due to stomatitis.  He has been suffering from it since Thursday.  I decided to bring him here because he’s having hard time swallowing foods.  He hardly eat and drink for 3 days now which may cause him to dehydration.

It is not really a serious one.  Actually it’s the first time I knew that someone is hospitalized because of stomatitis (singaw).  But since they are located near his throat, it’s painful for him to intake foods.  And my heart breaks whenever I saw him crying from pain when eating or drinking.  As of now, he has not been given meds yet because it is out of stock, so we still have to wait ’til tomorrow. Just hoping and praying that he will get well soon.  Lord Jesus Christ, please heal Sean.  Amen.

What is this condition?  The question I had in mind when I visited my uncle in the hospital.  CA…  I know it’s short term for cancer.  OMG! My uncle is suffering from cancer?  This is the truth that really depressed me.  The truth that up to now my aunt doesn’t know.  I know she will be distressed upon knowing this. My uncle had been confined in the hospital for almost a month now.  They are waiting for the biopsy result to know if he will undergo operation or not.  Can you imagine the expenses they are going through? They need 2,500.00/day for the medicines.  It is really painful in the pocket.  Luckily that he doesn’t need an adult diapers because it is additional burden.  But I patronage adult diapers for my father.  I buy 3 packs a week!  My uncle got the cancer from too much smoking and heavy drinking.

I am so proud of myself after seeing the output of my hard work in making my cousin’s wedding invitation cards.  I was requested to do 70 invites as my wedding gift to the new couple.  They just get married last July 16 and I am so grateful that I became part of their wedding.  To you Randy and Erlene… best wishes and may our Almighty Father always bless you and guide you in your everyday life together.
