I remembered I and my sister sponsored to one of the organizations supporting cancer patients a couple of years ago. Every sponsor was assigned to shoulder the ticket of a cancer patient and watch the Cinderella play with them at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
I didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. I always love doing things like this especially with cancer patients because they are very close to my heart because my dearest auntie died because of cancer for years now.
A girl named Ria was assigned to me and she suffers from lung cancer. I took care of her for the whole day and I really enjoyed what I’m doing. After the show, there was a small party for all the sponsors and cancer patients. We were all gathered in one room and there was a show for them and you can see in their eyes how much happy they are.
While we were eating, a chubby boy named Carlo approached me. Actually, this was the kid assigned to my sister. He’s really cute and he asked for my name. He seated on my lap and he kept on playing with my hands. He was a sweet little boy. He hugs me from time to time and never leaves my side. He introduced me to his mom and I was able to talk to her. I asked her about Carlo’s disease and she told me that he is suffering from mesothelioma which is a rare cancer. The reason why Carlo is chubby is because he takes steroids as one of his medication.
My heart seemed like broken when I heard it. I almost cried and when I saw Carlo playing around, I feel like I want to adapt him so I can be by his side. And just before they go home, he asked me if I can come and live with him so we can play. But obviously I can’t so instead I promised him that I will send him gifts.
And just last month, I heard from the organizer of this charity that Carlo died because of cancer. It breaks my heart even more and I can’t help but cry. I suddenly remembered that day when I met him, the day that he hugged me, the day that he asked me if I can come to his house and play with him and the day that I promised to send him gifts which I wasn’t able to do because I’m too busy.
How I wish I can bring back those times to make him happier. But I’m so blessed that God permits me to meet this angel. He continues to be an inspiration to me and I will never forget this cute little boy. I’m glad that even for a while; I became part of his happy life.
