sad news...... again?

pagpasok pa lang ng year 2007 ay puro sad events ang dumadaan sa pattsland. Early part of January, my grandfather, Elias passed away. At the later part of the same month my dear father left us and gone to be with the Lord. Before we could breath a sigh of relief, another dear loveone died, my brother -in-law`s beloved mother.
But just when we could recover from all the pains of loss, just now our dear uncle (papa`s younger brother, uncle Cardo) breath his last breath of life, after suffering long enough from complicated sickness.

I fear going there now, but we have to pay him our last visit. It`s really painful when a loveone dies. But this is life. This earthly bodies will not last. It will go back to where it came from. Dust. Everytime someone goes ahead, we are again reminded to prepare the real man in us, our spiritual being, because it is the one who will face eternity. If we strived to live for God here on earth, even though our earthly bodies will vanish and life here is over, we will remain in Christ and will continue to live through eternity with Him. Yes, only one life will soon be past, only what`s done for Christ will last'......

Uncle Cardo, we will not forget you........ I guess many times you wondered if we ever loved you....... if we cared....but if you could only read our minds and see what`s in our hearts, though the answer remained unspoken and unexpressed, we do, in our own little way, love you and cared more than words can say.

goodbye uncle.... At last you could now rest and leave this cruel world with all its pains and sorrow behind. For now, the angels are welcoming you home.....

niece,
