praying...

I woke up from a nap this afternoon with a bad news. My sister called to tell me that the mother of a guy friend of mine in General Santos City was murdered. She said my friend found the body under the bed when he went home from his sister’s house to get a charger. That’s all I know.

I feel sad. And mad. M is one of the most amazing friends I had in GSC. He’s always there when you need him. he never leaves your side in case you’re in trouble. He would go out of his way just to make sure that you’re ok. He would stay out late with you to hear your rants. He would never fail to ask if you’re ok. M is funny and smart and you can always depend on him.

I met him through my brother-in-law’s nephew, T. when I was in GSC, I stayed at T’s house. and M was always there. he’s like the adopted son. And whenever T’s lil boy cousin visits from West Covina, he’s always there to help entertain the lil boy. And he ended up being the lil boy’s favorite friend.

I remember the times M frantically look for a way to help me whenever I have a problem. Even if he’s busy, he would always find a way. And when someone’s sad, you’ll be cheered up with his corny jokes and out-of-this-world punch lines. He’ll never stop till he sees you smile.

That’s M. and now that he’s suffering from the loss of his mother, I wish I’m in GSC right now, to at least offer my shoulder to lean on, listen to his pains, hold his hand and hope that by those small things it’ll help him ease the ache. Though I know that losing a mother is like the biggest blow anyone can ever have in one’s life, having a friend whom you know will be there when you feel like the world’s crashing is like a ray of sunshine. And since, I can’t be there I hope this blog will find it’s way to M and tell him that a lil ray of sunshine in Cebu City is praying for him and his mother’s soul.
