My Auntie Lele is not only an auntie to me but a mother to the whole family. She would always cook delicious meals, and keeps herself busy by attending to the needs of her family and of the others. A very self less woman  indeed.  I remember one particular time in my life when i wanted "Binagoongan" for my birthday, it was my simple desire yet she took the time to cook it and went to our house on my birthday with the food just to grant my wish. And of course it was the most delicious "Binagoongan" i've ever tasted (no exaggeration). And from then on she would cook whatever we request. She also is a jolly and funny woman. She can make you smile and laugh even though you are really sad by saying a little joke. She would always post funny comments on facebook that will really make you laugh out loud.

My auntie Lele is a very wonderful woman. She does not care much about material things or outward appearance. She is simple, yet she is truly a beautiful person inside and out. She is a very good mother, my cousins Dale & Jesty are a living proof of her goodness and love. She raised them so well, loved them tenderly and always put them first. She is a very good wife, always supporting my Uncle lowe, always at home waiting for him to come back from work.

I can't find any flaw in my auntie, although i know we are all imperfect. For she has shown righteousness and love throughout her life. She is a prayer warrior, a woman of faith, a woman who loves & fears the Lord. 

Cancer failed to take away her faith, for she fought  for it and kept it. I have never experienced to lose someone i really love, i have cried and cried. But the Lord has given the whole family peace & grace. The Lord is our refuge and strength!

And now she is rejoicing in God's heavenly courts, dancing and singing. Finally she received her heavenly reward. She is now at a place where there is no pain, no tears, and no suffering. Now she gazes at God's glory, now she is happy, now she is worshiping the King of Kings,and the Lord of Lords.

Isn't spending eternity with the Lord the thing we look forward to? So although i am deeply sad, i find joy in knowing that she is in the heavens, the place where we all want to be. She has finished the race! And how i wish, the Lord would give me the same faith she had, for her faith never wavered, never doubted and never was lost. I rejoice along with my Auntie Lele, for she is now rejoicing at the sight of her King's glory!

I will miss you auntie. I love you...
