Last week, my family lost a special girl. It was so sudden, so unexpected, and I guess that's why it hurts more.
Sheilah was my aunt's 2nd child. We weren't as close as other cousins were, but I still remember her as the little girl playing with all of her siblings. She was very quiet, very poised and very loving. I only saw her during family gatherings like our grandma's party or Christmas parties. And the last time we had a long talk was before she was planning to leave for Singapore and she wanted to ask for some tips about the place, as I worked there for a couple of years before, too. But she was very mature and ready for the move, so I knew she would be fine.
She was supposed to come home for her wedding last December 18th, and I was really looking forward to seeing her in her beautiful gown. She even got my boy to be one of her ring bearers. But a few weeks before she was about to come home, she got really sick, and never recovered.
She was a good friend, a loyal fiance, but I knew her best as a loving sister and daughter. From her friends, I also gather that she had a strong faith in God. She definitely left a void in our hearts.
We'll miss you Sheilah Marie. Rest in peace and watch over us while you enjoy God's Heaven.
