A Generous Friend

We were friends since our college days in UST. He used to be a seminarian, shifted to an AB course when he left the seminary then studied nursing when he got married. They migrated to the US several years ago.

Yesterday, he greeted me a ‘belated happy birthday’ at the same time saying that my   birthday gift is on the way. This is the fourth time he sent me  $100 each, in another birthday, when we had Covid here at home, when Mom died two years ago and yesterday. Such blessings! He said he is just sharing his blessings  to friends like me.

More than fifty years of friendship! Although we don’t get in touch regularly, it is nice to be remembered all these years. Mel is such a generous soul. I am so blessed and grateful. A $100.00 is now equivalent to P5,708.00 pesos.
