“We could hear the pause after each rasping breath she drew growing longer and longer. Finally there were no more breaths and it was all pause.” This quote is the saddest quote I’ve ever read in the book. It reminded me of our recent visit to Philippines. It was on May 28 and all of us—my family, aunts, uncles, and cousins from United States came back to Philippines to visit our relatives. Everyone was having until I heard someone sobbing. It was my aunt who was sobbing over my cousin Theresa. Theresa died at age of 42. She has diabetes and she just had her recent dialysis. It was weird because when my cousin checked her blood pressure and sugar. At first her blood pressure was normal but at 1:00 PM she left us...
The worst part of that day was seeing my cousin gasping for air. Seeing a loved one struggling and you can’t do anything about it is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. It’s hard to say goodbye to someone you know even though you haven’t seen them in 5 years. But I’m glad she doesn’t have to struggle anymore because she’s safe up there, resting in peace...
