He who will never leave us
Cla came to class today with a face that betrayed her emotions. I can't imagine losing someone I love the way Cla loves Nikki. And frankly, I don't wanna have to experience it. Tiff and I paid our last respects to our former freshman batch president, and saw Cla in the midst of it all remaining strong. Although she did admit, "Mamaya maiiyak na naman ako."
Sunday night around 6:30pm I was sitting in our dining room with Ate and my parents discussing something I now forgot. My phone beeped, telling me I had a message. It was from Trina.
Please pray for the soul of Nikki Castro. He passed away today.
Oh. My. Gosh. I was so dumbfounded I couldn't express in words what happened when my family asked why. I mean, I knew he was back in the hospital. Cla had asked for prayers for her boyfriend a number of times, and I was all too willing to ask God for His healing for this great guy who made things happen. I didn't know him personally, only through Cla who's a wonderful person herself with a heart that truly loves. But seeing the number of people who signed in the tarps made for him, I know that he was well-loved and respected. That much is evident.
As for me, I'll just continue praying for Nikki's family and Cla. When a five-year relationship is cut short by cancer, only with God's grace and strength can someone move on. He did, after all, promise never to leave us nor forsake us.
