In Memoriam


Good Samaritans Joy, Cai and Betsy visited the spot where Reymond collapsed during his last race. They were in Subic last weekend for the Subic International Triathlon. It's the next race to be held in Subic since Reymond's accident last March. 

I promised myself that I would not look at any pictures or updates on the race last weekend because it just took too much from me. Reymond was supposed to join the race last weekend and because it was held in Subic, it really just pushed all the wrong buttons in my system. 

But after seeing this picture, my heart melted. I am so deeply moved by their gesture of love and respect for Reymond. May God bless their soul and their spirit. I am so touched. Happiest tears.



I was telling my friend Yvonne, how can I ignore Subic? How can I even avoid it? My whole life is in Subic. It's just too difficult to detach myself from the place, my tri friends and the sport itself. I just prayed for strength and grace and again, God was generous. 

I love you, Reymond. I miss you everyday. It will never be okay but today is always better than yesterday.
