Farewell.............


Tonight, I gave my respects to someone who has spiritually enriched my life. Brother Erano G Manalo was laid to rest in the Central Office Tabernacle in Quezon, City Philippines. I never got to meet him, I never got to see him in person. All I know is, as the Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo/Church of Christ, he loved us all. He labored and sacrificed his love and life for the members of the church. He will be deeply missed. The Philippines mourns the death of our beloved brother, streets and roads are jammed pack with people wanting to get a glimpse. I spoke to my mother a few moments ago and as much as she would have like to go, she couldn't because of all the people, the weather. It was hard to go in such difficult conditions. It was nice that we got to watch it on TV with the rest of the brethren.
I shed my tears for the ones that we lost this year. Remembering how short life is. How important people are to us and that we don't say I love you often enough. I love you!

Paalam Ka Erdy, mahal na mahal namin kayo. Sa muli nating pagkikita.
(Farewell Brother Erdy, we love you so very much.) (Until we meet again)
