I Will Remember You..

I really don't know how to I start this blog entry appropriately. Actually, I am twisted to do this, I'm quite unsure of what am I doing. So, before you get bored with this entire thing, lemme start with this video clip created by a good friend, Melai.

Friends, let me introduce to you Mark Anthony "Dom" Domingo (but he preferred "Dhomz"), obviously his nickname was coined from his last name, as there were couples of Marks in their class during their high school. He's one of my bf's childhood best friends and eventually, he became my good friend too.

I cannot share with you how we first met, because honestly, I cannot remember. *Sigh* But great thing 'cos, I will let you know people who is Dom in my life and by the way, that was really the important point in here.

Dom is the person whom I've been with for almost two years and yet, embarked one of my life's greatest memories and lessons. Well, "been with" not on a daily basis, but we've been through a lot since I met him. 

Dom is a good friend who suffered from kidney failure. Yes, kidney failure. Dialysis, infections, emotional, and psychological pains not to mention financial, were just those few burdens he carried when he was with us. It was heart breaking for his family and friends to see how he'd gone through those pains every single day of his life since he had that disease. We did our very best to lengthen his life, but our aides (especially financial) were not enough. *Sigh again* How I wished I am rich as Henry Sy, so I can find a kidney and finance his transplant and medication. But that was just a wish. :'(

And yeah, after one and a half years, he renounced the fight. He decided to be with our loving God and took his well-deserved rest.

Blood rushed in our heads when we got the news about it. That was Tuesday morning, around 8:30AM, July 31. Everybody was out of words. Our hearts skipped a beat. What happened? What went wrong? So many questions that honestly I think will remain unanswered.

As I mentioned earlier, we’ve only met each other two years ago. But I was confounded on how he touched my life. Right now, I’m missing him. His laughter, jokes, mood swings, stories, everything we’ve shared. Two years were not enough, I would say that I just can’t get enough, in Filipino, “Doms, nakakabitin naman ang friendship natin”. But I am very grateful because you taught me to value this life. You made me realize how short life is, that we should cherish each moment and live life to the fullest as they say. You showed me how to appreciate each and every blessing that showered upon me.

Thank you my dear friend! You will always be in our hearts, we’ll surely miss you but in the end, we’ll be there, wherever you are, to continue what we had here. 

I will remember you Dhomz. Have a happy trip! :-)

By the way, the blog title is a song from Sarah McLachlan., my song for him.
