IN QUIAPO, WE STARTED OUR NOVENA TO EL SENOR NAZARENO.
WE JOINED THEMANY DEVOTEES, AT MASS
WE CLIMBED THE STEPS DAILY TO TOUCH HIS GARMENTS.
DON'S DEVOTION TO THE NAZARENO STARTED WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE, AT THE MAPUA.
DAILY HE VISITED EL SENOR NAZARENO.
WHEN HE HAD AGREED TO UNDERGO SURGERY, HE ASKED THAT WE GO TO THE NAZARENO
WE STARTED THE NOVENA
WE SOUGHT THE NAZARENO'S HEALING MERCY
WE ASKED THAT HE SHOW US THE WAY TO OVEROCME THE MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN OUR HEARTS
I PRAYED THAT DON BE SPARED OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT
I WENT TO CONFESSION THERE BEFOERE WE LEFT FOR LOS ANGELES
IT WAS THERE TOO WHERE WE OFFERED MASSES FOR THE POOR SOULS AS DIRECTED BY FR GEORGE
ALL OUR CHILDREN AND OUR FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES WERE REQUESTED BY DON TO VISIT QUIAPO ANDSAY A PRAYER FOR HIM
IN ALBAY HE ASKED ALL HIS SIBLINGS TO GO TO THE SENOR NAZARENO
WHEN WE ARRIVED IN LOS ANGELES, ALICE AND TONY AND VILMA CAME TO SEE DON.
WHEN HE EARD OF THE DEVOTION TOT HE NAZARENO , ALICE TOLD US , THAT IT IS CLAIMED THAT WHOEVER PETITIONS EL SENOR NAZARENO HAS TO BE READY FOR A LONG WALK TO GOLGOTHA..A LONG WAIT FOR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED
AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME, DOC JEAN CORTES ZALAMEA BEGAN HER DAILY CALLS.
JEAN IS A AFRIEND OF LONG AGO. WE BOTH HAVE A SPEACIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAITED.
SHE SUPPORTED US THROUGH EACH DAY OF UNCERTAINTY AND VERY KINDLY SENT THE NOVENA TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
FROM FLORIDA ON TO THIS DAY, DON HAS NOT MISSED PRAYING THE ROSARY AND THE CHAPLET IN HONOR OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
AND YES...ON THE DAY WE WERE DEPARTING FROM FLORIDA FOR RHODE ISLAND ..GOD;S MYSTERIOUS WAYS STRUCK US ANEW.
WE HAD GONE TO THE AIRPORT EARLY ENOUGH
HANS DROVE US TO THE SOUTHWEST TERMINAL
ON A WHEEL CHAIR WE WERE ASSISTED TO GATE 3 C
A GENTLEMAN WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF US
BESIDE HIM WAS A BLANKETTED PERSON
LATER ON WE FOUND OUT SHE WAS DIANNE, HIS WIFE
SHE WAS TIRED AND HAD CHOSEN TO SLEEP ON THE AIRPORT BENCH.
HE STRUCK A CONVERSATION WITH DON WHEN HE SAW THE HEART PILLOW OF DON
THE CLEVELAND CLINIC RED HEART PILLOW IF OFTEN A SIGN THAT THE PERSON HAS UNDERGONE
SURGERY
AND AS DON WAS ON THE PHONE HE MOVED TO MY SIDE AND TOLD ME A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT SURGERY AND DEPRESSION .
AND ON AND ON AND ON HE SPOKE WITH ME ..
WITH MANY IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FORM ONE WHO HAS UNDERGONE A HEART SURGERY
I LISTENED ..TERRIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE FIRST HAND STORIES..SHARED FROM HIS QUADRUPLED HEART
HE ASKED US IF WE ARE CHRISTIANS
I ANSWERED YES...WE ARE ROMAN CATHOLICS.
AND ALL THE MORE THE EXCHANGE BECAME INTERESTING
HE WAS A DEACON
THEY DISTRIBUTE CRUCIFIXES FROM TALAHASSEE FLORIDA
AND AS THE CONVERSATION COVERED TOPICS OF FAITH ...
THERE WAS ONE REALITY THAT STRUCK US ..
HE WAS CONNECTED WITH THE PUBLISHER AND DISTRIBUTOR OF THE PRAYER MANUAL OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS
HE WAS A BAPTIST.
HE LEFT ME WITH TWO BOOKS AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATHOLICS AND BAPTISTS.
AND IN THE LENGTHY AND EMOTION FILLED DIALOGUE ON FAITH AND FAITH EXPERIENCE ,
THIS I KNOW ...THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS WAS SHED FOR ALL OF US ..WAITING AT GATE 3 C OF THE JACKSONVILLE AIRPORT ON A DAY THAT SOUTHWEST FLT 860 WAS FLYING ON TOT TAMPA AND LATER IN THEDAY TO PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND.
OH GOD YOUR WAYS ARE TRULY MYSTERIOUS !!!

AND DON SLEPT..
Tito Tony and Tita Loly brougt us to Jacksonville. We stayed with Tita Ida for 2 nights.
Austin, JOshua and Jacob the 3 sons of Hans spent some time with us.
We visited Tita Ida's new apartment. Lovely place. Ideally located near the Parish church of the Resurrection
We feasted on her special dishes...lengua..nilaga...paksiw..apay...shrimps...baked ribs..broiled chicken..endless...
Well the boys truly enjoyed Tita Ida's food.
Austin says it so nicely. "Lola Ida is the best in the world. She cooks FOOD!!"
Their other grandma cooks spaghetti. Hahaha.
On March 25th, we spent time at the perpetual adoration chapel of the Parish of the HOly Trinity.
And by God's grace...Don finally had his GENUINE NIGHT SLEEP.
It was not disrupted...
It was truly a calm night.
He slept so well.
He did not hear our voices..IDA , GLO AND CLEO AND MINE.
.
Tita Ida and I were awake all night.
Preparing our luggage
Sharing dreams
It is always a grace to meet up with Ida.
It is always energizing.

HUMBLED BUT IN SOLIDARITY
A few days ago I received word from Shelmed that 2 of our flower makers passed away
One in the evening and the other, the morning after.
I felt a loneliness that I could not explain .
Our producers , come and go but our flower makers through the years have kept us company.
I thought of death
I thought of the pain of separation
I thought of our many producers who have gone ...one by one...and some I will never get to say goodbye..
They will never be replaced as no one in their family have interest in the business
I thought of the wake that I will miss and hoped that Shelmed officers will find it in their heart to visit with their families .and be in solidarity.
There is something about wakes that make be truly humble
In the casket is a friend who has responded to her mortality
In the casket is a friend who has accepted the end to the first phase of BEING..
HUMBLED.
YET ONE IN SOLIDARITY.
DEATH COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS
AT TIMES THAT WE DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND AND SOMETIMES CANNOT ACCEPT..
DEATH REMINDS US THAT LIFE IS A GIFT
WRAPPED WITH THE RIBBONS OF HELPLESSNESS
THE DEPARTURE REMINDS US THAT SOON WE WILL BE ALONE AND LONELINESS HAS STARTED WITH GRIEF..
LIKE JESUS IN GETHSEMANE...THERE IS GRIEF...
HE UNDERWENT HIS PASSION ...ALONE
THE APOSTLES SLEPT
THERE IS NO ONE TO KEEP JESUS COMPANY
MUSIC
PRAYERS
FLOWERS
PEOPLE AT THE WAKE...
AND YET IN OUR FAITH
THIS PASSION SUNDAY
WE ONLY NEED THE FRONDS ..
TO REMIND US OF PASSION AND DEATH
OF A MAN WHO LOVED US
IN OUR HEARTS THERE WILL BE MUSIC
IN OUR MEMORY THERE WILL BE FLOWERS
IN CHURCH PEOPLE HAVE COME TO RENEW IN FAITH
THAT JESUS HAS STARTED HIS PASSION AND WILL DIE TO RISE AGAIN
AND WE WILL REMEMBER HIS LOVE
WE WERE NOT AT HIS WAKE..
YET TODAY WE ARE HUMBLED AND WE ARE IN SOLIDARITY

THOUGHTS ..ON A SOFA .
PALM COAST ..ON A QUIET AFTERNOON
AN AFTER THOUGHT
DON AND I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER
BUT LAST NIGHT WAS DIFFERENT
WE LAUGHED AND TALKED AND DREAMT
TITO TONY AND TITA LOLY HAD TO GO TO A DINNER AND DON DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT
GOING OUT . HE HAD JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH OF SLURS.
SO WE STAYED HOME AND COOKED OUR DINNER
..WE HAD SALAD AND STEAK FOR DINNER
THEN HE SAT DOWN AND I JOINED HIM..AFTER CLEANING THE KITCHEN ..
THERE WAS NO MUSIC AVAILABLE
BUT WE HAD LOTS OF LAUGHTER
AND TIME TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT TO DO AFTER GOING HOME
DON TOLD ME HE WANTS TO SERVE
HE WANTS TO ACTIVELY SERVE THROUGH DIOS MABALOS PO FOUNDATION
FOR YEARS NOW HE HAS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED DMPF
PROVIDING ALL THE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL EXPENSE OF DMPF
BUT NOW HE WANTS TO DO MORE
HANDS ON ..
THESE QUOTES ARE AFTER THOUGHTS ...
COME ON DON...LET'S MOVE ON ...LET'S CONTINUE TO SERVE..
GOD IS OUR EMPLOYER.

MAMA /TITA MED/MED
Hi Mr. and Mrs. Villanueva,
I have reviewed the pathology report, which shows early stage II disease.
I therefore do not recommend radiation therapy.
Instead, I recommend CT scans of the neck/upper chest every 4 months.
You should follow-up with a neurologist as well and have him order these tests.
Best wishes!
Christopher Chen
