I rest in the arms of my hero...

Cory Aquino

My beloved country's ex-president is sick with colon cancer. Her family is pleading with the public to help pray for her recovery.

It's hard to imagine her sick. I've always imagined her to be the energetic person who is actively involved in the political arena even if her presidecy has been up. She has always been a political icon, whose words and political endorsements have so much influence on the masses. She has made the country proud by making it to the cover of Times magazine, and will always be remembered as the widow of the hero, the late Ninoy Aquino, and the woman who has toppled the dictatorship of the Marcos regimen.

Tonight, I will include her in my prayers. Hope you do the same.
