To my dearest daughter Christina
Jan.7, 2019. Day of Christina’s New Lif
To my dearest Christina
It feels kind’a nice sitting on the big Mommy couch next to your bed as I write this little note, and bring back some of the happy times and wonderful things that Is now within me whenever I think and refer to you my Ate daughter. You are such a great catch for my Kuya son Carlo (Miko), a very good mother to my 3 darling apos, and a very loving daughter to Mom and me. I love you so much. I miss you already. I will always cherish the hours being with you that “before” night from 6 to 8 pm and even especially the “after” morning 3:00am to 10:30am together with Mom and me. I am angry at this unruly world and disturbed about what you had to go through because of the discord, illness, and pains of Cancer existing in our universe. I do know though that as mysterious as this is, even if God respects such order of nature and let things as they are, He still works on bringing out the good in everything. And thru you, good things have already come to us. Thank you. You are a real Ate. Anna reminded me last night that you used to say to everyone that I am the closest person to being like Jesus, that you ever knew. I say you are closest to being like Jesus with all the pain and suffering you had to go thru for all of us., like Jesus. We thank you so much for giving your entire life to us and for us. Thank you Christina. You have been an inspiration to the family. You have left priceless mile markers in our world. You have made beautiful friendships. But then you have made me wish to have you with us much much more. So somehow, be always with us. DAD
Celebration of Chridtina’s Life at Salt Lick, Driftwood, Texas, Jan. 13
I am sure Christina is really very happy to see so many people here to celebrate her Life. I know that there are a lot of other people out there who want to be here to
celebrate with her, and she is definitely feeling joyous about that. Thank you all for being there for Christina. Christina and Miko’s fight against this damn Cancer was really hard and so difficult, and very painful. I truly commend these 2 souls for sustaining a good fight and winning this battle. I have the honor of saying that because I witnessed their sacrifices and their struggle and their total submission to what all this has brought about. Not just the go fund me, the meals, the moral support, the notes of well wishes and comfort, the baby sitting, some folks gave their air miles, and others their time, days, weeks. I would like to ask you to note and cherish that they, Christina and Miko, left with you some precious memories with lifetime messages that hopefully will be useful for the rest of your life now, or maybe later, or even to eternity? Christina even had special one on one moments with some of you. I am sure she said or did something for each one of you as she did for me upto the last few nights while I held her hand and whispered in her ear. Cherish her conversations, her touch in your heart, her pains and sacrifices because they are meant for you, and your family, and your friends, and your world around you. And if not, just remember her infectious smile. Thank you all.
