Yesterday a friend of mine complained of breathing difficulty after he took antibiotics and pain reliever prescribed on him for his boil. In the end he had to be admitted in the hospital because he could not bare anymore the uneasiness. I remembered my niece, Julia when she was still alive and sick of cancer, exactly the same medicines my friend took she was also taking on top of her chemo treatment and all other things. Comparing her condition with my friend’s I realized how brave she was at seventeen to handle all the discomfort and pain without complain for one year. She only rested when she died last year of February.
She was so close to us. We were devastated of her loss but we tried to move on. Time will heal the wounds but the scar will remain forever.
I remember, last year, you told me about your niece. My condolences.

It was a loss. I hope your sister and bro in law are feeling a bit better.

ReplyDeleteThanks even if it's a year ago.

They have gotten over of the loss but sometimes it just can't be avoided that we talk about her and everyone gets teary-eyed.
BTW, thanks for reminding me I should have used loss instead of lost (lol). Can I recall this blog and edit?
hi julits!
ReplyDeletecongratulations for starting this blog! never mind the grammatical errors, like you said in our email, to just ignore it. this is not an academic paper anyway. igna lang gud poetic license! :)
cute kaayo ang imong mga pseudonyms sa imong barkada ha!
wa pa man lagi sila nagcomment?
dapat diay last year pa nimo ni gihimo, di ba ingon nako resource person ta ka para sa akong seminar paper sa africa?
sige lang, padayon lang! this is good for your soul.
tan-awa, you're talking about missing julia already and your feelings, naka-air pa gyud sa net.
like i said before jules, the loss is going to be forever there. empty space na na sa imong heart. matabunan sa work and other activities, seemingly only. but even if the pain may seem to fade, the memory of how it felt will stay to haunt, to prick us at the sight, smell, touch, sound of anything that would remind you of her.
we just carry the loss, soothe our pain, and live with it, to go on. she wouldn't want you to just give up on life.
take care always, jules!
