the inevitable

" what is inevitable with our lives?", i remember my english high school teacher shouting at us one hot wednesday afternoon... he was talking about a poem written in the renaisance period...

"DEATH!" he demanded... death is inevitable... and since then, those words never left my mind...

death is inevitable... one day, we will all die...

rare is the chance when one dies a peaceful death... and that rare chance was given to my uncle last night... tito alex died last night... it's as simple as that...

tito alex, like his death, is a rare man... even in extreme pain, he had an unbelievably long patience...you would never hear him complain of pain or unsatisfaction... you would just see him nod, smile or gesture you to have some drinks... his unselfish being is admirable... his only reason of not wanting to die, is because of his wife... he was worried of what would happen to his wife when he leaves... even hours after chemotherapy, if he had to rush his wife to the hospital he would...no matter weak he was, he would serve and care for my tita...

so pray for him... because he was a good man... a good man of God...

to end this post, let's all together pray:

Eternal rest grant unto tito alex, O Lord. and let perpetual light shine upon him.. may he REST IN PEACE... Amen.
