I was watching TFC, Rated K to be exact. My heart melted when I saw Mrs. Beng Villanueva's interview about his young son named Iggy. Iggy was diagnosed with Accute Myelogeneous Leukemia last January 6, 2009 and from that date he only have 4 months to live if untreated. Jay, my ex-bf-now-hubby, and I went to google to read Mrs. Villanueva's email right away. We were really moved.. as a Christian.. and as for me- as a Lasallian and as a woman who desires to be a mother... prayerful of having a son soon.. is writing and hoping that God may touch the reader's heart to share for a brother who's in need of God's blessings.. The Sacrament of giving doesn't pertain to the amount but to the joy of one's heart, who freely allow God to move and bless other people through their lives and resources. Please read it with me one more time..

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 MYELOGENEOUS 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 MYELOGENEOUS LEUKEMIA. To aggravate things even, he even has pneumonia. Thus, chemotherapy cannot start just yet. Untreated, he just has 4 months to live…
