OBITUARY
It was 7:16 in the evening of August 20, 2007, when the UNIQUE CRYSTAL JMEE G. HERNANDEZ, a registered pharmacist and instructor has peacefully joined her Creator. It was a sudden departure diagnosed of SEVERE HEART FAILURE due to LIVING the LIFE of an OLD SELF.
Dying from the OLD SELF of TWO WORLDS, crystal was dear to have often brightened up a gloomy room of faces. Her antics would simply rush through the pulsating blood of lonely hearts. She would crack a good joke at the very moment when almost everyone needed to find a reason to jump in joy. She had the ears to listen even if nobody cared enough to listen to her inner signs. She full-heartedly caresses the aching and crying hearts of people around her even if deep down inside she suffers the inevitably failure of her heart.
She would often go to class early in the morning. Seat beside the window look hopefully at the students sitting at the PGT bench… some rush their way to catch their too early first class, or some would even savor the many facets of going to school. Not all people may know, but that was her relief. It was her hope… her dream… that these young people may not passed through the road she had been.
She often would find joy at glancing at people, and seeing their true beauty by the little things they do. It was her calling to have always offered her life for the people who needed one. It was a great martyrdom for someone, until there was a point when she was left with nothing - a self of love for others but none for herself.
She had a LIFE lived in the UNKNOWN knowledge of most people who knew her. A warrior deemed victorious in so many ways… yet badly wounded through life’s battles. She was a great DICTIONARY of words that could heal a broken heart… mending a broken dream or boosts a dying ego. She was a friend, a best friend, a loyal friend and true friend to people she deems dear and important.
But none was able to see the asymptomatic presence of a complicated heart failure. It was slow but the progressive pathway of neuronal failure and emotional collapse triggered the untimely death of her old self.
It all started 18 years ago when at the young age she had to build a GREAT DREAM out of her young mind and body. She was driven to reach the top of her class by easing the pain of slick bamboo stick. Sometimes even wondering how intelligent one should have been to be deemed intelligent and victorious at her age. She went home with ribbons, medals and trophies yet she found no happiness in having one. at a very dear age, she pursued happiness. She took many roads, thinking they lead to the happiness she was about to unfold… but most of it taught her the other facet of life.
Days turn into years and her asymptomatic condition progress into a more dreaded disease. For most of the times, she was ok, or so, she felt ok. But the ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMS IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF A DISEASE. Her heart grow strong… her personality and character flourish but the weak side of longing to have been loved for all that she really is, kept on necrotizing the normal cells of her emotional psychic. A Cytotoxic drug of unknown genre triggered the fast and dreaded heart failure. Perhaps it was nearly contraindicated for her condition but somehow became beneficial.
At 24, accomplished and had proven too much for her time, the DREADFUL disease has reached the core of her life. It sucked out all the innocence of yesteryears. And forceful she had to bid goodbye to the OLD SELF.
Months before her condition took out her time, she met GOD. In the most unexpected place and time, along the many journeys of her existence, she MET the one TRUE GOD who gave her the strength to face her OLD SELF dying days.
The agonies and tears that slowly and painfully haunt her everyday for the last days of her life, GOD prescribed the best medicine – LOVE! Through GOD, crystal remained victorious and accomplished in spite of the many wrong things that have triggered her disease. A multi-organ failure summarized it all.
There were thousands of reasons to blame… to hate… to justify why she was held captive under the undeniable pain of her condition… but GOD ANSWERED IT ALL. He erased them all and rests her soul in serenity.
SHE WAS A CHANGED LADY BEFORE DEATH!
And as she ascend to the NEW SELF… her story lies true and strong for the people that once loved her and cared for her. They knew that in dying with the OLD SELF, she has found the NEW SELF of life with the LORD.
With this as I closed the many secrets and greatness that she wants to keep secret between her and GOD, I salute the GREATNESS of a WOUNDED WARRIOR who have victoriously battled out the DREADED DISEASE and left this world of OLD SELF.
SHE RESTS NOW IN PEACE with HER CREATOR!
