I received a call from Long Island, NY at 7am today. It was Ate Pam and it wasn't a good news. Kuya Cris is sick and he's in the hospital for one week already. It's good that my Ate was here. They're both nurses and they could talk the same language. Ate was able to explain things to me after they talked. I am not a medical person. I don't know what's worse and worst. Anything that is more than coughs or colds sound bad to me. How much more if I hear the term ICU?! My mind wandered and wondered again. This is a hard time for Kuya Cris and Ate Pam. Prayers. We could all say one for anyone. It could be the least that we can do for someone. But I believe that it is not the only thing that I can do. Given my situation, I know I can do something more if only I'd be given the chance. So I took a little courage (and kapal ng mukha) to tell Ate Pam an idea that's been boiling inside me. I really wanted to be there with them so I volunteered even if I wasn't sure if I can be of any help. I was happy when they have accepted my idea. You see, I have nothing to lose. Not even time. They will be transferring Kuya Cris from a hospital in Huntington to a hospital in Manhattan. He's still in ICU but I was told that he's stable now. They need to do a procedure that cannot be done in the hospital in Huntington. I have checked the address of the hospital in Manhattan to plan my trip. It is located in uptown Manhattan (98th St). NY Penn Station is at 34th St.. Hmmm... So... that is why God was training me to take the subway the past week, eh? And that is why I was browsing the pamphlets of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) yesterday and I was actually checking on the tracks at the NY Penn Station. Turns out, I am going to need it! And here's more, out of the blue, I said these words to Barney, "Uptown na lang ang hindi ko pa gaano nadadayo..." This is not a fun time and it's loud and clear. I got the message, Pareng G! To my prayer warriors, this is not for me but you know what to do. I am not sure if I can bring GreenApple with me and I am not sure how long I'll be gone. I'll go online if I have the chance though. And to the rest, I am leaving one request: whatever faith you have, if you happen to pass by here and this, being my last post, please say a little prayer for our friends. Consider it a little act of kindness. *Oppss... laundry is done. Gotta start packing.* |
