Sad Truth

Thought it was already a perfect start. Not until I heard the beep. Viola! I was again bothered. Bothered by so many questions, problems, pains. Pre-occupied by a person who swallowed all the pride he has -- I foresee a good father in the future, although he may not be a good provider for now but will be inspired by the newborn child. I was moved by how precious the love is. By how much care and how much appreciation he has.

The story began. Quite a short story. He is only an acquaintance. Do not really know him that much. Was able to know him through a friend. His whereabouts, background, and others are only from what he told me and not from what I saw in him and from what people thought about him. I believe that was a year and months ago since I heard about this man, and then just recently I received a message from him and that he needs help. Weird, which made me ask why. I am just not too used with someone whom I barely knew asking for help.

He is in dire need, I presume. Which was confirmed by a text message that his newborn baby was in ICU due to a pneumonia. The doctor advised that he can already bring the baby home, however, the sad part is, he does not have money to pay for hospital bills and his baby was left alone in the hospital. He was asking me for help which was his last resort. Unfortunately, I do not have enough resources myself. I may not know how difficult it is for him in this situation, but a person as I am, I am really moved.

Empathy pushed me on writing this. I may not be able to give him the thing that he needs as of this moment, but I am with great faith that everything has its answers. There is no need to lose hope for something that can be possibly answered. There is God up there and generous people out here who can help. There are also lots of ways to do. I am just praying that everything will be accepted with patience and sacrifices will be appreciated. All the tribulations, challenges, and trials are the best tests that makes us a better person as we age.
