                    [Summary] => 



I expected last Sunday to be a quiet, uneventful day for me, but then we could never predict what’s in the mind of God… that he would choose that day to mark my mother’s entry to eternal life. Yes, my mom, Mrs. Ascension "Inday" Segura Avila, passed away in her sleep early dawn of Aug. 13, 2006. She was 86 years old. My sister, Adela Kono, called me by mid-morning to come quickly to her house (we all live in a family compound) because our mother had died. This sounded impossible to us because my mother was still strong and often walked to church alone.

                    [Summary] => 



Whenever someone young dies we often make jokes saying "Only the good die young." Last Sunday morning, I got a frantic cellphone call from my sister Adela Kono, just next door to my house that our mother, Ascension "Inday" Avila was dead. Honestly, I thought that my sister was joking. But this wasn't a joke because my sister rarely makes jokes, much less prank calls. I rushed over to my mother's room to see her lifeless in bed.
