Before 2023 ended, my faith in the Almighty was tested. When the year started well with my son Osmund and Erika’s wedding in June, the election as First Vice President of Cavite ASMEPPS 103-A Lions Club, and being busy with our school trying to increase its enrollees, I was struck out of nowhere with cellulitis that almost ended my life on November 7. Thanks to my son Osmund, who asked a friend to check on me personally at home.
