Life and Deaths

Sigh

It has been a long time since I wrote in any of my blog.

Of course the whole world knows about the deasth of Cory Aquino already. I was awake that Saturday because of stomach flu so I found out about it. I cried.

Then, last Tuesday, I heard about the death of my student Jessie. His mom dropped by the school to tell us about the death of his son.

It was so sudden. The boy was smart, friendly and good looking. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was so young.

I remember him sitting always in the front row, at the aisle so how can I forget him?

He volunteered to do a report one time at school. And when he was sick on the day of an exam, he texted me to apologize that he could not make it. And when he wsent back to school after getting well, he took the exam eventhough he was still weak.

Awwww. I would like to think that I made an impact to him.

I pray for his peaceful repose.
