Goodbye, Tara Santelices

I woke up today and saw my sisters status in yahoo messenger: “Let us pray for the repose of the soul of Tara Santelices who passed away this morning.”

The other day we were all talking about how it was a miracle that she recovered and how humbling it must be to have so many people support you.  And then we heard the bad news that she was rushed to the hospital again.  I woke up today with the news that she had a cardiac arrest and died.  It was a very long struggle for her..

I can’t help but be angry about what happened to her.  What a waste of talent and a waste of life!  I wonder what happened to the driver, the three passengers who got off their respective stops while Tara was bleeding and Joee was pleading for help.  I am literally shaking right now and wish to God that they all just die.  How can they do that?  I know it is wrong but I’m questioning God’s motive.  Why did He allow this to happen?  Where is He when this happened?

Where are the lights that the Cainta Mayor Mon Ilagan promised?  Where are the improvements he promised?  Cainta is still the same inspite of the clamor from the people.  The apathy and lack of improvements is disgusting especially after something as horrible as this.

There are just a lot of questions that will remain unanswered.

To her family, friends, Joee, strangers who in one way or another helped her and her family –I am sorry for your loss.

Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
- Lamentations 3:32-33

Thanks for sharing your article Shen. Myka said her wake turned into a gig with Skies of Ember, Names are for Tombstones, Scarlet Tears and of course, Saffron Speedway. :) There’s another gig for her on October 5. I just saw it when we went to her wake but I wasn’t able to take note of it. I’m sure there will be some sort of announcement before the said date.
