My Life and My Family

It was a sunny morning in Cebu City,in 1991,i supposed it was early June when i just arrived from Zamboanga City. My first time perhaps to have landed in a foreign soil,at a "wharf",as my mother used to describe a seaport in her own right. Yet in Cebu's, a 1st class city already by far that time,they called a wharf, a PIER. As the boat's ladder was lowered,i remember the sincere heart of mine,Thanking the Lord for a trip so safe and smooth-sailing.I was expecting my cuz Boboy to meet me that day and he did met me.Boboy is a 1st degree cousin,the 2nd oldest amongst our couzins.His oldest sister being the 1st.He is now a Lawyer but works abroad now,pursuing another field.As we were on the way to his boarding house for a little rest because that very day manong Boboy will bring me to a University for enrolment. So i was enrolled in that Great University, i was amazed by how that university is so huge,maybe just because i was new to a big city with huge buildings. i was just like so ignorant enough to say this but really i was so amazed(.ignorant?tell me).But during my time in that University, i met my Girlfriend,my future wife Laarni.She was so beautiful,very lady-like and full of energy. If that was my destiny why i went to that university,so that destiny was worth my life and will never ever forget it.Laarni was so vibrant as a friend,a gf and a companion. I learned from her how to deal with people and jam with people not known to me yet.She was a nursing student then,a popular lady in campus because of her chinita eyes and very attracvtive voice, just don't let her sing man,she will ruin your ears.i was a witness by how schoolmates admire her,on how her boardmates treated her well and for sure how my friends respected her.As she graduated form her nursing course,and me pursuing my dreams that did not come to past,we still where brought together by destiny but for me,it was God's will in my humble opinion.I started my married life with her and we were blessed with 2 boys,Christian Jesse and John Tristan.Laarni,my wife, was the best thing that ever happened to me. With my 2 kids around,life is so beautiful my friends.We were married in civil rights in '95,life for us were difficult during our years together,some years were bad but just her being around me and my kids were reason enough not to complain to LIfe.But for majority of time,we were happy as a couple and blessed.But life though has its ups and downs,in July 2006,my Laarni joined her Creator.she was ill with ESRD(end stage renal disease).It was hard/difficult to accept for me,most especially with the kids.They were so young,innocent and still will long for a motherly love.I was devastated then and still is but nothing could i do but to just accept her loss.Damn,it was so painful to loss a partner/wife in her.But LIFE must go on...As what a proverb says and i quote"to live is Christ and to die is gain"... 'Till here my friends...Part 2 of this is coming,this is just the start yet...God bless you all...Tc
