Life is very Unpredictable (true story)

I have this very good friend of mine whom I treasure throughout my life since i was young. He became one of my bestfriends, his name is Danilo. As we grow up, we shared a lot of things and enjoyed every bit of moment we were together. During our teenage years, a very big news had blown my mind away, he was diagnosed to have little stones in his kidney. He is not worried of this case because the doctor said he will be fine soon cause the stones were very small that medicine can cure it without undergoing any operations........Danilo, then lived normally because he knew that the healing process will just take some moments but not that long......everything went fine, until one day, late part of November, his whole body was swollen, he said it was very painful, he can't even fit his shoes because the size of his feet became larger as an effect of the medicines he is taking. One morning, he cannot breathe properly so he was sent in the hospital for a check-up.

At the hospital, his family was crying and praying that he will be saved,,,,,,even though I am not there, I still prayed for him. He said to his aunt, who took care of him for so long, "I will not leave you because I will be strong again for all of you, Dont worry, I will not yet die." And he was very happy that night of December 12, 2006. His family and us, his friends were very happy because of his recovery.

On the next day, December 13, 3:00 AM, he was brought to the ICU(intensive care unit) cause he can't breathe properly.......he said to his family, "can you call my friends and tell them to visit me here." We planned to go to the hospital that day but after school, at least 4:00 PM, we can go so we are all set.

Until I came home happily, my parents told me something, "your friend already passed away"........My world stopped and tears started to roll down my face. Christmas is nearly a week to go.......so i felt a deep pain inside my heart. I thought in my mind, "yu're very unfair, you didn't wait for us." All of us, his friends stayed up late seeing him in his coffin, it's a sad view........until it's time to say goodbye....all of us are mourning because we lost a very good friend, but he will stay in our hearts forever.

During Christmas, we went in the cemetery to visit him........and we prayed that wherever he stays now, we wish him to be happy with the hands of our Lord. But I also thank God for giving me the opportunity to meet a very special person that made my life more colorful and more meaningful.
