of holding on to promises

"I take thee,
to have and to hold
from this day forward;
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part,
according to God's holy law.
In the presence of God I make this vow."

familiar eh?

till death do us part...

but will death really take people part? for many, yes.

pero for my friend, roy, death was not able to cut the love he have for his wife. kahit nasa kabilang buhay na ito, patuloy nya pa din itong sinusulatan.

almost every day and night, he wrotes his letters to his wife through his blog Letters to Mama.

the first time i read his blog, i was so touched on how he came up with such idea of sending letters to his beloved wife that came along with a tag line "Maybe there's an internet in heaven".

well, so much for now. last sunday, his blog was featured sa Rated K of Korina Sanchez.

i adore his love for his wife so much i even recorded the episode of rated k.

so guys, here's the first part of the show.

kainis no? ibinitin pa ni korina. hehe... kahit ako last sunday. i was like "tsk tsk, ano ba yan, putol pa"

sige, ibibitin ko din muna kayo.

well, as what i've read sa blog ni kuya roy, he was at first hesitant and was not sure about the decision of having that interview with RK. and i do believe he made the right decision of showing the world his love for his wife. of showing his own way of how to reach out for his beloved wife. of showing the world that death is not an end to a love story but merely a beginning of a new love story of two people in love.

kuya roy, i admire you for what you've done and for what you are doing. saludo ako sa iyo pare ko!

so much for that, here's the second part of the show:

whew! kahit alam ko na ang story ng blog na letters to mama, my eyes were still wet after watching the show.

i was thinking about myself. na if ever i go and leave this world, meron kayang isang tao who will do the same? reaching out to me kahit na im not here in the world anymore. and wishing that there is an internet in heaven where i could browse and read along blogs of people who misses me.

kung nakikita ng wife ni kuya roy ngayon ang lahat, im pretty sure she is always smiling as she reads each entry in kuya roy's blog. kahit happy, sad, or even whining and crying and subject ng blog entry, the most important thing is, kuya roy never forgets to let his wife know what is happening with the family she left.

kuya roy, the first time you shared your story with us, your pva01 family, you have touched our lives. and now, i know you touched more lives by sharing your story with the world. and sana, with the help of this blog entry, i can spread your story so more and more people will be touched and will learn to value more love and relationships with their family and loved ones.

as ive said kuya roy, saludo ako sa iyo!
