   helo bo! i am so honored, im the 1st one to do the comment bout marowe’s miscarriage.. it happened to me too. but we arent on the same situation. i was a kicked out of the university where i used to study. i was so depressed then. i turned to smoking,drinking sessions but most of the time, smoking is what i do.. things had gone bitter and darker and i felt like, the world is getting smaller and smaller everyday.. i gave up then. i turned my back from my creator. i felt disgusted on him during that time because i am blaming him for what is happening on my life.. i gave up my christianity.. i never call God for help. but i thank him so much because even if i gave up already on him, he on the other hand did not. and never even think of giving me up. he let me stand again.. slowly by slowly he let me do things on my way but he assured me that if ever i made a mistake, he will be patiently correct me.. i am a member of a ministry right now. DESTINY MINISTRIES is the name. God called me for it. i turned down my vices. and now, im back on tract again! this is how he loves me.. and let me just share this to you, you know what last night, he again gave me an assurance… that whatever happens, he wont leave me. and he told me the sweetest thing i ever heared from a man, “YOU ARE MY PRINCESS!” let me just say this in your account, i love you LORD!

   p.s.
   i called your office last2 week hoping i coud thank you about the book you’ve wrote entitled YOUR PAST DOES NOT DEFINE YOUR FUTURE. but you werent there. it helped me a lot bo.. thats the exact thing that had happened to me. the exact feeling i felt, and the exact healing i need and experienced. i love you bo! thanks for that book. (ah ok, let me just do the story how i found that book.. arrgghh! i cant get enough! hehe)

   —friends, i was about to find for the cash vouchers my mom needed in the national bookstore in sm edsa. i saw Bo’s other books in their proper section.. it was infront of the cashier (at the back left corner of the back door) but i never pay attention to those.. while i was walking, i pass unto the fiction corner.. there are a lot of folks reading books there.. thats why i decided not to enter that section. but i dont know, its just like my feet walked alone.. i saw this green thin book. you couldnt imagine how i cried while reading that. i bought the book and now, i am sharing this to my friends who also experienced the same thing..

   this is the healing God is offering to me, to you, to us, to marowe and to all the people who experienced pain in their life.. do not think of giving up (take that out from your options!) if worst comes to worst, put your hands together and call the man above. friends, i promise you that no matter how sinner you may be, or no matter how dirty you see yourself, God doesnt do the same. i promise.

   ah bydaway, i am offering a free counseling. just send me a message. here is my account (mathews_hahaha@yahoo.com) Bo, pls. let me post my e-ad. i also want to help people to stand up again and assure them taht nothing change. friends, i hope i can meet you soon! thanks Bo,!

   more power to you and to your family.God loves you.

   I am really sorry to hear that Bro. Bo. ;-(

   You still have the right attitude with regard to the loss of your baby and I admire you for that. There are things that we don’t understand and we are really not required to understand. God has His own ways of doing things and we just have to trust Him.

   God Bless Bro. Bo straight from Gardez, Afganistan. I am missing The Feast terribly. =)

   Yet again, you’ve inspired us with your story.

   I am praying that I will grow to have the same amount of faith that you and Marowe have in our Lord. Sad to say, I still find myself deaf and blind to His real plans for me. I pray that someday, I will become more mature in His love.

   Thank you Bro. Bo!

   I am sorry Bro. Bo to you and your wife Marowe. I truly am in awe of you in how you take this and how you view all these trials. Day by day the situation I am now is not improving and I can feel the PAIN. I know you feel it but sobrang bilib ako sa yo as you still the see hope in everything. Me, I don’t know if for how long can I take the pain. I don’t want to give up but sometimes it feels that giving up is the only option that I have to stop this pain in my heart, lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.

   I salute you Bro. Bo and Marowe! I wish I will have the same faith and hope that you have.

   God Bless!

   Hello!!

   I just wanted to tell you Bo that, YOU MADE ME CRY(hehe)!!!! My tears just bursted out when i read when you took out the holy water and baptized your son! Honestly, I wouldn’t imagine how on earth you could have such strength and the trust on God. But I am happy that you feel that you’re blessed. (Wish I could feel like that too whenever I feel the time is rough)

   i think i somehow know why this happened to you..
   you needed to teach me trust and faith..

   i also lost my baby..my first one..
   i was so angry at God that i stopped praying. we were so happy when we learned we’re pregnant. we were so thankful, but then he took my son away before he can enjoy life..how cruel can God get.

   i believe i am a good person. of course, i have my shortcomings but i still am a good person..i did’nt think i deserve what happened. nobody deserves it, but who am i to question His reasons when you, Bro. Bo, opted to see it as a blessing. when you, in the midst of the same situation, found an opportunity to grow in your trust and faith in Him.

   thank you..i think my son is playing with your kids in heaven.

    26 January 2009

    OUR DEAREST FRIENDS…

    I am so embarrassed to do this yet, I am humbling myself to ask…please read on…

    January 6, 2009 was the worst day of my family’s life…our eldest son, IAN GABRIEL PICART VILLANUEVA, was initially diagnosed to have ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA. It is already the 20th of January, and after a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion from different doctors, the diagnosis, sadly is still the same: ACUTE MYOLOGEOUS LEUKEMIA. To aggravate things even, he even has pneumonia. Thus, chemotherapy cannot start just yet. Untreated, he just has 4 months to live…

    Treatment plan for Iggy includes at least 3 rounds of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant! To date, we have already moved from 3 hospitals. Currently we are at National Kidney & Transplant Institute to save on cost.

    Though we may belong to a middle income family, the medical expenses that have and are to be incurred is so staggering! The amount needed is about 5 Million …thinking of how many
    zeroes the figure has makes me want to give up…But I know I wont and I cant! I will do anything or everything to save my son to the best that I could. Sad but true, I have nothing…Whatever is left of our meager savings has all been used up. Time is essential. The bone marrow transplant will be performed 2-3 weeks from now, and I need funds to deposit
    before any treatment can be done.

    I am literally alone…Its just Iggy & myself in the hospital. Friends & relatives come to visit but
    I cannot compel them to do more. I am a one woman army. Thank God that I have the laptop and my mind as a weapon…

    Iggy, is a well rounded individual who I can say is an achiever. From grade school to college he is very athletic: red belter in taekwondo, track & field and basketball. An honor student from pre-school to college, a leader in his own ways.

    As a mother, it breaks my heart that such potential should go into waste…He is so young…IT IS MY MOST FERVENT PRAYER THAT YOU BECOME PART OF THE CYCLE OF HEALING…IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. I HOPE I AM NOT ASKING TOO MUCH. HUMBLY I AM ASKING ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN EXTEND MY FAMILY. WHATEVER MEANS WOULD BE MOST WELCOME. I may not be able to repay your kindness and generosity in this lifetime…but I am confident that God knows…

    I am realistic enough to understand how difficult life is today. I am not asking for total
    dole-out. If at all, any of you are willing to loan me…I would forever be grateful. I promise to pay, although little by little, with interest even. Please…This is already a desperate cry for help… I just cant imagine what is to be…

    May I also request continued PRAYERS THAT IGGY NOT GIVE UP, HOLD ON AND BE STEADFAST IN HIS WILL TO LIVE. Likewise, prayers THANKING FATHER GOD FOR THE HEALING.

    Thank you very much for taking time out to read this letter. I know in my heart that you will be able to help me and my family one way or the other. May the Good Lord always bless you
    and your loved ones.

    Respectfully,

    I also had the same experience by baby is 6.5 weeks in the womb and I bled a lot. There is no need for medical procedures but just medicine because the lining of my uterus was already thin. That was the midweek of January. I was really sad about it…

    Dear Bro Bo,
    Thank you for being truly an inspiration not only to me but my entire family as well. Your faith and trust in God is just amazing.How much you must have the Lord! I am also moving in that direction and my family as well. You’re right –we don’t have to UNDERSTAND..we just have to TRUST. This is also the reason why my family including my 4 kids and sometimes even the girlfriend of my eldest son, we make it a point to be in THE FEAST every Sunday even if we come from far away Trece Martires, Cavite. The Feast has BLESSED as so much. My kids ages 23, 18, 16 and 12 always looks forward to our Sunday celebration at The Feast. THank you so much for sharing your life to us. And I really thank the Lord for making you a channel of His abundant blessings! Thanks for teaching us to believe in ourselves, that we are children of God, that we are loved beyond measure, that He has planted dreams in our hearts. We should not be afraid to ASK! You have blessed our life so much. Praise God!!

    Bro Bo.
    I was so touched with your recent post, and I wish to share my realization when the same thing happened to me (us) last October 2008.
    Below is the copy of email i forwarded to my family & friends claiming Gods blessings.

    ***********************
    Three months after we get married, God immediately answered our prayer by giving us positive result when we conducted a home based pregnancy test kit last August 25. Another dream come true for us because we prayed for our first baby to be born on our wedding month. An OB (Dra. Gato) from Munt. confirmed my pregnancy and prescribed necessary vitamins for me and for the developing baby inside my womb. Considered as the happiest days of our lives.

    21 days after, I felt the need to visit my OB again as I experienced gas pain. Upon reporting this to the OB, she requested for complete bedrest and ultrasound to check the viability of our baby.

    The first ultrasound showed good cardiac activity, however printed report indicated that baby’s size is short by 2 weeks based on the expected size. The OB informed us that there are chances of losing the baby and ordered for another ultrasound after a week. Trying to confirm the ultrasound result, Piwi resorted to searched the available information trough the internet. Learning that the size is within range, we agreed to seek for second opinion with another OB whom I also consulted while I am not yet pregnant.

    Again, an ultrasound was conducted and it was explained to us the real condition of our baby. The good news, our baby has good cardiac activity, but there’s insufficient amount of amniotic fluid (medically term as ‘oligohydramnois’) . Since first trimester is considered as the developing stage, we have to expedite supplying fluid to the baby so she recommended me to be admitted at the hospital for IV insertion. For 2 days, we stayed at the hospital with a complete bedrest condition without bathroom privilege. Then, another ultrasound was requested and it showed normal result so we were discharged with the condition that I have to continue another week of complete bedrest.

    Last Oct 2, exactly 2 days before our scheduled follow-up check-up wherein I supposed to get my clearance to resume office, I noticed red discharge on the toilet paper when I urinate. The red discharge become heavier and despite that I feel no pain, we know that such is not normal. Dra. Grace then instructed us to proceed to ultrasound and relayed her the results.

    As that was our baby’s 4th ultrasound, we became familiar with the image we saw on the monitor. Actually, even before the sonologist requested Piwi to come closer, we already saw that the baby is no longer moving. And it was confirmed when the sonologist told us that she can’t see baby’s cardiac activity. Upon leaving the room, they gave us the printed capture of our baby and with a remark ‘negative cardiac activity’. I cant think of any word to describe our sentiments.

    On that same day, I was admitted to the hospital for a D&C (raspa). At 8pm, I found myself lying on the operating room and at 11 pm, I am again a single being.

    *********************

    Well, part of me is really saying that I have to share our experience to those who mean so much to us, not to ask for sympathy, but more of sharing the love and realization we had.

    Yes, I had my miscarriage and I am sure that no one will ever consider such as a blessing. Yet, God is a great God, he never get tired of letting me know that despite of what happened, I am blessed… we are blessed.

    First, He blessed me with a very loving husband. He expressed his love by taking care of me and our baby, he’s our personal nurse and doctor as well. When negative thoughts are eating me and I am loosing my faith , he was there to supply me with hope and determination, some of his remarkable words were “kung si baby nga lumalaban tayo pa kaya?”… “ si Lord na ang bahala sa atin, sya nagbigay niyan so sya lang din ang pwedeng kumuha”. On the night that I experienced bleeding, he encouraged me to keep on praying and surrender our baby to God. With this experience, we shared a deeper meaning of love and compassion.

    We claim Gods blessing in giving us our families and friends. They shared in our excitement & joy of having a baby and with what happened they also made us feel that God have better plans for us. Their prayers and comforting words indeed played a very important role as we learn to face the reality. This may also be the best chance to thank each and everyone. We need not to mention your names, you know who you are.

    Piwi and I are blessed because God gave us the opportunity to become a Father and Mother to our baby. Though we just have him for 40 days, the experienced will forever be cherished.

    The best blessing we could consider now is God’s unending love for us. We did lost our baby but he gave us the consolation that we have an Angel above there who will be praying for us as we continue this life’s journey.

    And with this we say… Thank you Lord!

20. Courageous, on February 12th, 2009 at 9:07 am Said:

    God’s ways are mysterious, yet we know that everything happens for a reason. In our grief we might be tempted to question God because we demand an explanation on why such things happen to us especially to those people who feel they don’t deserve it for some reason.

    Continue to trust God Bo in everything. You may be experiencing a difficult time in your life but God won’t let us be tested beyond our strength to handle them.

    Continue the good work you’re doing.

    God bless.

    I have great compassion for you and other people who have lost their beloved children. At the same time I am happy for Angel, Benjamin and Mikki because they were well loved even though they had a very short life on earth. In contrast I also remember the many healthy children who are aborted, murdered and dismembered by the very people who are suppose to protect them- their parents, medical practitioners and politicians. Abortion is legal in this country. The abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler even received the highest award “Order of Canada” by just fighting to be an abortionist. I am saddened that we have produced a country who have a lifestyle of free sex with no moral and legal responsibility and who move about murdering children unpunished. We have a country who love their pets more than their neighbour. I cry for the many children who are unloved from the very beginning.

    Im sorry for what had happened to you and Marowe, before when I’m reading youre blog I thought that you’re the luckiest person in this world, because you made people realize how good our Lord is. I never thought that you too can experience this kind of pain. You are really amazing because you can still find it as a blessing. Bro Bo,
    We too loss someone we love, my youngest brother Pedro III died last dec 16, 2008, he murdered by six people but until now no one was sent into jail among those six. Could you imagine how we felt right now??? specially my parents???
    yes me too is asking the same question, why do we need to loss him? he’s to young (18 yrs old) and the way he died is really tragic and everytime i remember it makes me weak and cry out loud. I asked God a lot of question, longing for an answer he’s sudden death brought us into pain and sorrow…But right now, I praying that God is comforting him and
    giving him a big hug as he enjoy he’s new life in the paradise (together with youre angel mikki)
    and may he realize that we love him so much despite of our shortcomings.
    Its really hard to face this kind of trial. But God is so good that He never leave us,he sent lot of friends and relatives to give us comfort and encouragement during those times. He keep us strong in times that we want to give up… Yes Bo, there are those times that i felt im losing my faith to him… But when I heard the gospel last sunday, the way he heal our brokenheart and continue to forgive us despite of our sin, and when I read youre story it makes me realize that everyone can fell the pain of losing someone you love. You’re story encourage me, and its true as mhayee garcia husband said “Si Lord ang nagbigay ng buhay sya lang din ang pwedeng kumuha”
    Maybe God has his own reason for everything happened, though I can’t understand the hidden blessing, But I know God work in his perfect ways.

    Bro Bo and Friends please pray for me and my family that we may continue to praise God despite of this storm that were struggling may God continue to give us faith as we came along the way, please help us to pray that my brother find justice for his death…THANK YOU IN ADVANCE…

    Continue to be a blessing to others Bro Bo…

    God bless us all..

    A year after we got married hindi pa din ako mabuntis,so we decided to seek medical advice.My OB said hindi na daw ako mabubuntis b`coz baliktad dw yung matris ko,only 5% lang dw yung may ganung case and 2% lang dw yung pwede pa mabuntis pag ganun yung case.I was devastated,BUT we never lose faith in the Lord,we prayed a lot…We never stopped praying sa Baclaran and sumasama pa kaming mag asawa sa mga Visita Iglesia para makapunta sa ibang churches to ask for a child.One of the churches we visited was the Mt.Carmel in Lipa.There I cried my heart`s out to the lord.I fell to my knees and weep.And I said,If it`s your will na hindi kami pwede magka anak,tinatanggap ko na.
    Within the same year,I got pregnant and my new OB said it was twins,we were very happy.One week after my first ultrasound,nag bleed ako,and i spent one week in the hospital coz di ngstop yung bleeding ko.then my OB confirmed na we lose one baby. Bedrest ako for a month para hindi namin ma lose pa yung isang baby.sobrang ingat kc bk yun na lang yung nag iisang hope namin na magka anak.7mos past and the ultrasound confrimed na twins yung babies namin.we can not believe it! It was such a happy moment for the family.They were only 8mos.when they were born kc sorbrang bigat nila,healthy 6 lbs and 5.8 lbs girls.Kaya pala sobrang laki ng tummy ko…
    Now they are 8 years old and are very active,talented and intelligent girls.They have a 5 years old baby
    brother.I love them very much…
    Never stop praying and believing….And God will give it to you at his appointed time.

    God bless you Bro.Bo and Marowe. Napakalaking inspirasyon ang binibigay ninyo sa amin.My family is praying for Angel,Benjamin and Mikki.

    He calls me to trust.”

    Such trust….I admire you Bro Bo for letting go of the need to know why. I hope we can be of the same posture.

    hi guys…

    im just new here…i just read on the the posted messeges and i can relate to it.. i lost my first baby as well last oct 5..

    during that time i really felt lost and the whole world is on me..but what keeps my faith is the night before it happen mother mary appeared in my dream. Its like she is telling me to not give up and lose hope.

    the reason why i lost my baby was due to amoebiasis..that time i wanted to revenge for the lost of my baby but i dont know how and with the right person to revenge..(if there is a person to revenge to)..

    My ob adviced to have forced abortion because the baby is already dead inside my womb.so i have to undergo labor and all the pain. After my D&C i cant still believe that i no longer have my baby…

    i want to cry my heart out but its of no use because it already happened.then my brother in law came to visit me and he brought with him his ipod..i just listened to praise and worship songs. then as soon as i closed my eyes i had a vision of mama mary instructing me on how to do her cloth .,..by the way my mom has a big mama mary that one of the religious people came up to my mom one day and said that her mama mary wants to be dressed but my mom didnt know how to make her dress and if she will be the ones to do it..

    then that day she came to me in my vision instructing me on how to do her dress..i cried and then i know that she never left me with all my pain and sorrows..

    now im reading the book HEAVEN IS SO REAL by Choo Thomas and i realized that god is always there whenever we need him and he will not leave us..and his kingdom is ready for his children..

    I would recommend you to read that book..its so nice ..

    hi bro. bo,

    i assisted dra. illescas at the OR. i felt for u and marowe. i tried to interview her for the database required prior to the procedure, but she cried and i just couldnt carry on with the interview. u and her and all those women whom ive done curettage for abortions in the past are in my prayers.

    i’m a regular attendee of The FEAST and it changed my life. i gave my co-residents the Novena to God’s Love because it worked for me and i want them to be blessed too. thank you, bro. bo for bringing me closer to GOD!

    Dear Bro Bo,

    I feel sorry to hear your story and at the same time I felt God’s answer to my question.

    Sometimes, kasi I feel di ako mahal ng Diyos kaya kinuha nya ang mahal ko sa buhay.

    Now, I realized I am wrong.

    Thank you for sharing and may we be together with our departed loved ones in heaven.

    May God continue to give you the strength to endure the sorrow.

    God bless po!

    It’s really true that sometimes we really ask God why bad things happen to our live and God has plan for us. I am a religious Education Student, and I admire the mother who had accepted that her children are now in heaven, it means that She really believes in God. and that’s a challenge for most of the people of today, to see God in the tragic events of their life. i wish that when I would be a teacher I would be able to let my students see that God is good and all things that happens to our life whether good or bad is His will…

    thanks for the story……

    God Bless us all!!!!!!

    Dear Bro. Bo,

    Sorry to hear that. Again I am inspired by your strong faith I have one child and she’s a gift from God. I did not experience Marowe’s pain, but I can relate and so sadden about that incident.
    But I know God in His goodness has a divine intention for such occurrence. Because of you I am more trusting and faithful to God. May be just maybe some things happen to make us a stronger person.

    Hello Bro. Bo

    I am so sorry for your loss. If God brings you to it, He will see you through it. You are right.We do not need to understand, we just need to trust in GOD. We should not question His ways for He knows best although sometimes it may not seem that way. Will keep praying for healing.

    God bless,

    I had the same experience last year October 19 but mine was 7 months premature. She got congenital problems that made her expire after six hours. She’s a long awaited and suprise baby girl for us. She was inside for seven months while I am working alone in MY. It was a difficult pregnancy all along and was really frustrated to end up losing her at the end. But GOD has purpose in everything. I am continually understanding what it is. Truly, God answers all our questions. He truly explains it to me through quiet and private readings like this. Thanks to my ATE who introduced me to this specific blog.

    Bo, you walk thru to every MOM’s weeping soul who lost their baby like your wife and you make us stronger by consoling us and giving us understanding. After this temporary stay here on earth, we will eventually see our angels.

51. Arlene, on March 11th, 2009 at 2:18 pm Said:

    I can relate to that Bro. Bo. It was 10 years ago, I also had THREE consecutive abortions and its the same stage that Marowe had 7-8 weeks. I cried so much, we really wanted to have a baby. But i know that God always have a reason why things happen, and the blessings comes, after a month of my second abortion my husband was hired for an overseas job.I didn’t know that I was again pregnant (for the 3rd time) when he left,so i was so happy knowing I’m pregnant and I told my husband, 2 days passed after talking to him ,i had again an abortion, and its my birthday when it happens.my husband calls he’s trying to comfort me but i know he too is crying. My mom used to say “maybe its not yet time”. Every time I prayed, I cried but it did not last. I surrender everything to Him.After 1 1/2 yrs my husband went home for vacation,we left together in the place where he work and started our new life there.I thought it would be easy hindi pla, i got pregnant again and same signs and symptoms happened, me & my husband pray bfore the ultrasound and thanks God the baby is safe. I just need to have 2 weeks bed rest and continuous medication. And now we have 2 kids, 1 boy 6 1/2 & 1 girl 5. We really thank GOD for giving us not just our kids but also my OB GYNE (Dr. Zoltan Lengyel -Hungarian)
    God really works in His own Mysterious way….trust HIM..
    Thank once again Bro.Bo & GOD BLESS u and Marowe..

    hi bro.bo

    i just read your blog. i know it’s late but i want to extend my condolences to you and your family.

    when i read the title of this post, i was shocked. when i read everything, i felt bad. i cried. i’m just 17 years old but i know that this isn’t easy for you and your wife especially. it’s something i am afraid to happen to me.

    but i know you’re strong.
    God has a reason for allowing things to happen. we may never understand his wisdom, but we simply have to trust his will.
    i always remember that. that’s why i can carry my problems lightly.

    God Bless you and your family Bro. Bo. i will always pray for you and your little angels in heaven.

    You inspire me with this article and somehow made me feel envy with Marowe because despite of the dilemma-the loss of the baby, you were at her side, holding her hand and assuring her that everything will be ok.
    I lost my baby, too..my first one. I got ectopic pregnancy and almost died that day. But the sad part here is the person whom i wish to held my hand that day was not there at my side..but i still manage to understand the situation because i know he’s in abroad that time. I accepted everything and tried to move on with my life. Tried to believe that everything will be ok since we already have plans but i did’nt know that the worst thing will still come. Several months after i lost the baby, the father became cold to me and then called it quits. He found someone else in abroad, he has a kid of 1/12 yrs old to another girl and admitted to me that he is also married to an older woman whom i thought is just an arranged thing. And the saddest part and the one i couldnt accept is that he threw all the blame on me. He accused me of something that never comes to my mind that he will think of me. He said that he became cold and looked for someone else because he thought the baby is not his. He couldn’t believe that the baby is already 9 weeks old since he just came here for a 4-week vacation and then after 2 weeks i lost the baby. Though i explained to him that my OB backtrack on my last mens, he did’nt believed it. He also knew that he was the first person whom i trusted my self. I feel so down and lost, since it’s not only my pride and dignity that he stepped on but also the rights of my baby. Somehow, i understand that the reason why she was not born in this world is that God does not want her to have a father like him. Now, im healing my heart. Trying to find forgiveness to the person who did this to me ; and to myself.
    But i thank God for allowing me to endure this pain because i’ve learn to value all the people around me and be closer Him.I hope someday i can find someone who will accept my past and will help me build trust ..and to Love again. i know God has better plans in my life and that someday i will find someone who will be at my side holding my hand and will never leave me.

    Bro. Bo, good thing you now have two boys after those 3 miscarriages of Marowe. God is really good.

    Last year, we lost our baby too. It was really painful for us. I blamed myself for that. Super depressed ako nun Bo. I had lot of questions kay God. Masama ba akong anak kaya hindi binigay sa amin ang anak namin? Hindi ba ako deserving maging ina? Napakadaming tanong Bo. Pero dumating yung time na na-accept ko na and I quit asking God. Tama ka, naging kontento na lang ako at inisip ko na may better things na mangyayari sa amin after mawala ang baby namin at naniniwala ako dun.

    As of now, wala pa kaming baby because my husband is working in Singapore. Minsan, inaatake pa rin ng loneliness lalo na malayo ang asawa ko pero I have to be strong kase may plano pa si God para sa amin and I’m very excited.

    Thanks Bo for sharing this story and continue to inspire other people like me.

    God bless you and your family.
