At 3:08 this morning, December 6, 2024, i received a message from my cousin Lisa Pepito Caronongan that her mom, my Auntie Rhoda, my Dad's sister, had passed. She had been on dialysis for many years and although I'm glad she's no longer suffering, i will miss her. i had planned to see her in February 2025 before Dan and I would fly back to the States, but God had other plans.
Now that i'm almost 70, more and more people whom we knew personally are passing on. I know that's the pattern of our life here on earth, but it doesn't make it easy for those of us who are left behind.
Our biggest comfort, however, is that they are now whole and are with the Lord Jesus. What a wonderful reunion Auntie Rhoda must have had with her parents, especially her father who died when she was only 2, and my Dad! It is also a great comfort and encouragement to know that, as Christians, we WILL see them again someday when it's our turn to leave this earth and be with our Lord and Savior forever.
