My good old high school friend (barkada), Alvin De Castro, lost his Mum. She passed away early Tuesday morning, 03 February 2009 at 52 years of age.
Hearing the news saddened me not because I personally knew his Mum, but because Alvin is a dear friend to me. Losing a mother is and will never be easy, and I know that Alvz must be going through a really tough time. It hurts to hear that a good friend is hurting.
I went through his Facebook profile, and it was nice to see that many friends are consoling Alvz and his family. I scrolled further down and got the shock of my life. Two of his status made my eyes huge. One was a little past 4:00AM, and the other was around 10 minutes after.
The first one said that the ambulace guys have been resucitating his Mum for the past hour. And the other, requesting God to not take his Mum yet. I couldn't believe it.
Now I can't even imagine the pain he is going through, especially during the time when his Mum was being saved right in front of his eyes. I really can't imagine the pain. All I can think of is one word - unbearable.
I pray for the soul of Alvz's mum, and for the family she left behind. Please help us to pray for them.
This illustrates how fragile life really is. It scares me. :(
