There is this one person, who taught me how to love life, how to live it to the fullest, to appreciate what things I have, to value the people around me and lastly, to trust God no matter what happens. He is the least person I thought who would teach me all of such things. He was my brother – my ten day old brother who has been in the hands of the Lord since 2002.

Having him in the family was such a blessing and I personally never thought that he could change my life in that instant. He was born September 3, 2002 and he died ten days after because of multiple illnesses such as congenital heart disease, hydrocephalus and kidney malfunction. He also suffered from an illness called cleft palate. Every person who would visit him that time would definitely pity him. His first major operation happened when he was three-days old. Being practical, my parents decided to pull him out of the hospital because first, we were falling into deep debts, second is that we didn’t want to see our little angel suffer and third, even the doctors already gave up on him since his body wouldn’t be able to take all the medications and needed surgeries for him to survive. After pulling him out on the hospital, the doctors warned us that after taking out the oxygen tank out, he would just last for about five hours. However, God always shows us miracles because when we brought him home, he lasted for more than what we expected because he lasted for almost less than twenty-four hours without help from any medical device. I believe that it is just God’s working hands that made him alive for more than the hours given to us by the doctors.

The ten days God had given us to be with my little brother is indeed a miracle for me. Maybe God has just sent him as in instrument to bring my family back together, for us to value life more and for us to know and appreciate what already have. And now that I am looking back at what had been me and my family went through, I realized that God had never left us, even at the darkest hours of our lives, He is still there. We might never felt him those times but He is definitely there watching after us and comforting us while we saw our little angel go.
