your SPOUSE is the one who’ll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who’ll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you’re ever too sick to stand. this isn’t just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it’s about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn’t enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life’s ugly parts... that’s what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won’t carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it’s HARD TO LOVE
And people keep on saying na "magdasal ka" yet here's Kuya Kim, he prayed every single day for Emman's well-being, and still, this happened. Because at the end of the day, it's an illness. Sabi nga ni Emman its either it get worse or better. There's no cure for it.
'LORD, DASAL KO SA 'YO 'TO ARAW-ARAW! WHY?'
Kuya Kim Atienza: "I woke up in the morning, may message si Feli: 'I have terrible, terrible news.' I knew already. Napaluhod ako! Nanlambot ang tuhod ko. Sabi ko, 'Lord, ito na!' So, I called Feli. And Feli said na Emman's gone. Nanlambot ako! Nanlamig ako! And ang nasa utak ko: 'Lord, dasal ko sa 'yo 'to araw-araw! Why?' "
