Take Two
I would like to share with you two very touching letters.
TAKE 1: The first letter is from Carlo Cruz, whose wife, Leslie, is one of the casualties in the Glorietta blast of October 19. Carlo sent an e-mail to his e-group asking for prayers for Leslie and at the same time sharing his grief. It was already published in inquirer.net and could be circulating in many emails now.
Reading Carlo’s e-mail left me so teary-eyed as he recounted his story of that tragic incident. I couldn’t measure how his heart and dreams were shattered that day, especially when Carlo told all his regrets, and what he should have done to prevent what happened to her. However, I admire him for facing bravely this fate, and openly admitting his grief. My heart’s broken, too, when he wrote, ”Today’s the fourth day. It is still terribly difficult to breathe, let alone wake up realizing that your source of strength, your best friend, doesn’t lie beside you on your bed.”
