3rd Stroke :-(

My dad’s older brother suffered his third heart stroke a couple of days ago. It was really sad considering that his two sons are working abroad and it’s just him and my aunt. Good thing that my older cousin, their eldest daughter, lives just a few houses away and was able to respond to their call for help.

My uncle and aunt live in another city. Even though we don’t see them all the time, we are still close to them. My dad and my uncle are like best friends already. And my siblings are I are really close to their children, especially to our male cousins working abroad. You can just imagine how affected we were when we learned about what happened.

My uncle’s right eye slightly popped out. He’s seeing double and the doctors said that he busted a vein behind his right eye. His cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure shot up and wouldn’t go down. We knew he was worrying a lot and we were right! He told us that he thought he wouldn’t be seeing his sons anymore. He also worries about the costs of his hospitalization and the medicines that will be given to him. Of course, my cousins will shoulder all the bills. Still…

We are all praying for his speedy recovery. He is a fixture in our family gatherings and out-of-town trips. We can’t imagine one without him.

Please say a little prayer for my uncle when you read this.
