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.
