prayer request
please pray for my aunt...tita miriam. she's in the philippines and has been battling cancer. she's in the hospital and is on morphine now. my mom says she sounds really weak. she thinks my aunt's gonna die soon, cuz they're just doing pain management now, as if there's nothing left to do. her son who lives here is flying back there soon. she's my dad's eldest sister and i can tell he's sad. he was somber when he spoke to her and her husband. she's a very very sweet lady who made sure to pack us a bottle of calamansi juice concentrate when we left the philippines because my brothers and i really liked it. pray for the comfort and healing of our family too. they haven't told my grandmother. they don't want her to worry. i have a feeling she knows though. she's intuitive like that even though she's blind.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
