Just had heartbreaking news this afternoon. Something so painful for me. As I was about to take a shower I glanced at my cellphone. I saw a message request from my cousin a close one. I was surprised because we are already friends on Facebook unless she got a new account. So I opened it. I am wary of multiple accounts because it might not be them. But the message she wrote gave me a jolt. A big one.
Her message to me: "Please pray for Manang gin balik liwat sya sa ospital ,Medical City .nasa ICU intubated na sya kay galabored breathing.🙏🙏🙏"
It means that she is asking for prayers because her sister was admitted again to the hospital for labored breathing. She was admitted a few days ago because of swelling on both legs. She was in the hospital I think 1 week. She was still going on Facebook and chatting. Even in the hospital. Manang is a term for older sister.
When I saw the message I was shocked, I called their brother who is a priest here in the city. He confirmed my worse fears. She had her 3rd stroke. She is young only 64 years old, has 3 children all adults. Her eldest son is to be married in Jan 2019 and her daughter in the US is planning to come home next year too so she could see her granddaughter. She is in the eldest in her family.
We have lots of pictures together but this is the one I saw immediately, taken 5 years ago with Jed Madela our nephew. So I decided to use it.
We are close not only in relationship but in blood bond. Her dad is my dad's older brother and her mom is my mother's older sister. They are 5 in the family and when her mother died last year they adopted my mom as their mother because both of their parents are gone now. We are only 4 in my family. So it is very painful for me because we are very close.
I cried so many teardrops, my heart is aching and I have been asking God to save her. As of now the news is that she is still in the ICU, intubated and low response.
I am asking prayers for her please. My uncle just died now.......... I don't want to think of the worse case senario.
So instead of a happy #ulog this is a very sad and heartbreaking one. Hoping for a miracle because I believe in miracles. I can't stop the #tears from falling.
