He suffered for three years when doctors found out there was cyst in his liver. He opted to have alternative cure and it gave him more three years to live.
A few hospital confinements later and several blood transfusions, the result of his colonoscopy was bad. Malignant cysts have reached his other organs and he became so thin in the process. It was a downward journey towards the end.
He was just 61 years old when he left us two weeks ago. He could have accomplished more if he were still alive today. And I could no longer visit our provincial home without remembering him.
We are three siblings left now, my two brothers and I. One is gone forever but I believe he is at peace now with the Lord.
It is hard to lose a friend but even harder to lose a brother.

It’s hard to move on Elizabeth. Mom forgets that Alden is gone. She keeps asking whether we are in the province or Manila every hour on the hour. She said she wanted to go home but we just got back from there the other day.

Patience, lot of patience Elizabeth. Even if I have given her meds, she asks at least 20 times a day everyday if she has taken them.
