"I grew up watching my dad serve God so diligently, yet he died untimely..."
He also narrated how his mother, who was a fervent Christian, passed away, despite begging to stay alive and praying with all her heart.
"I watched my mama wake up before dawn, day after day, just to be at morning Mass. She lived in prayer, trusted in faith, and still⊠she wasnât saved. She begged to stay alive, she prayed with all her heart. I fasted too, believing that faith and God alone could keep her here with me. But she was taken anyway. đ .."

He said these leave him confused and searching for answers.

"I wonât tell you to go to church, there are so many of us that have lost faith in religion, however, your parents have lived there lives, nobody is promised tomorrow, the fact that you served God so much doesnât mean youâd live long, everyone has their time to go up, the most important thing is to live a transparent live before God and man, so that when your time comes, wether untimely or at a ripe age, youâd be sure of eternal rest.
"Your parents have both lived their lives, it is now left for you to live yours. The world wasnât meant to be such a nice place where you get everything that you wish and prayed for, perhaps itâll be different in heaven. Stay strong."
