a family

she's a dear friend here at jamestown. she sends me text messages once in a while and she always goes like, "taba!!! musta n man ka???!!".

we talk during our bystanding mode at Rose's Store. whatever we need or want, she gracefully hands it to us and happily accepting our coins. anyways, she's a BSC-Education graduate and completed a Caregiving course at CCSDC. everyone calls her Ma'am Grace. she's an ex-teacher at USJ-R but she decided to quit for i don't know why. she took up caregiving classes and after that, she just kinda like, disappeared in Jamestown, then we knew that she was already in Taiwan. everybody was happy for her and all that.

just recently, i went to the Puerto Suerte lantay and i heard yan-t talking about hospitalization and stuff. i asked who was in the hospital and said, "si ma'am grace gud". i asked, "abot na diay siya? di ba naa man sya sa taiwan run?".

then i knew after 4 months of work in taiwan, she went home with a disease. her liver is getting bigger and needs operation. i was shocked. for a woman who does not drink, it was just so weird. now, ma'am grace needs 4000 CC of blood. her blood type is A+ and mine is an O. that means, i can donate blood. as for me, i have been donating blood regularly every six months, so needles ain't a problem. i talked to her cohort, girlie and told her that i can donate blood. tomorrow is my schedule, me and mainyak and vior will go visit ma'am grace in community hospital and check her out.

yan-t said ma'am grace is so skinny already. poor ma'am grace.

hold on ma'am, my badass blood is coming. i'm pretty sure she will overcome this dreadful thing that happened to her life.

here in jamestown, we're not just friends, we're family.

... and i just hope blood will flow out of me... not gravy. hehehe.
