I start work at nine in the morning. I get home at around eight. Sometimes, I have to do overtime. And when i do, i get home at around 11 in the evening. Upon arriving home, I have dinner and cook our viand for tomorrow’s lunch. I no longer have the luxury of watching news reports.

Last Tuesday, a C130 crashed killing nine of its crew. I didn’t know that one of those who died is Captain Adrian de Dios. I don’t know him personally. But i know his brother Renan de Dios who is currently a first class cadet at the Philippine Military Academy. I didn’t know that his brother died in the crash until i opened his friendster account.

I feel sad not only for dee (that’s my pet name for him) but for his family specially for his pamangkins who lost their dad at an early age. I would love to give him a hug to comfort him since dee has always been nice to me. His mistah and I might not have ended up together but he still remained to be a dear friend to me.

Dee, you might not be able to read this…but i just want you to know that i’m just here if you need me. My condolences to you and your family. Be strong. Always remember that in everything GOD does, he does it well. There’s a reason for everything. Maybe at this time, you don’t see any reason why this has to happen. But in time, you will.

I’ll see you soon!
