Everything happens for a reason ( A story about forgiveness and love ) According to the Proverbs 16:4 "The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." Everything happens for a reason a verse I once hated that my Lolo used to tell me ever since I was a young butterfly flying in the wild, Until my Lolo came he was like sunshine guiding me out of the maze like cave. 7 years have passed from a sprout to a flower who is a bout to bloom. Life was beautiful, that’s what I thought not until the day of September 3 2023. It was a sunny afternoon when everything changed. My Lolo and I were on our way to visit some relatives, laughing and talking about random things along the way. Little did we know that our lives were about to take a tragic turn. As we approached an intersection, a car suddenly swerved into our lane, causing a violent collision. The impact was so intense that I was thrown forward, hitting my head on the dashboard. I remember the screeching of tires, the shattering of glass, and the overwhelming feeling of fear and confusion. When the chaos finally subsided, I looked over to see my Lolo slumped over the steering wheel, unconscious and bleeding. I tried to wake him up, but he was unresponsive. Panic and dread flooded my heart as I realized the severity of the situation. I cried out for help, hoping that someone would come to our rescue. Emergency services arrived at the scene and rushed my Lolo to the hospital, but despite their best efforts, he did not make it. I was devastated, overwhelmed with grief and anger. How could someone be so careless as to cause such a senseless tragedy? I learned that the driver who had caused the accident was a man let's call him "mang ador". I was filled with anger to the point if don’t even have the gut to listen to anything that he say's. My mind was like a volcano that is erupting. Over the last 4 days i was still filled with longing and sadness. All i wanted was for the guy to get arrested for the rest of his life, He caused me the greatest pain. that no matter how much I cry its like that pain is stuck in my heart. The last day had finally come, Crying my heart out wishing for a little more time, my heart still couldn’t accept it. It ended I went to my Lolo’s room and fell asleep in his bed. For the last time if saw him in my dreams. He said " no matter what happens learn to forgive, because god has plan for everyone" the sentence that he kept telling me growing up has finally making a sense. The following week we had another hiring about the case this time i chose to listen to his side. Be stated that he has been in a hurry because his daughter was rushed to the hospital due to kidney failure. Despite my anger towards him for taking my Lolo away from me, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of empathy for his situation. Losing a loved one was something I would not wish upon anyone. As days turned into weeks, I found myself consumed by a mix of emotions - grief, anger, and confusion. I wanted justice for my Lolo, I wanted mang ador to pay for his careless actions. I wanted him to be held accountable for the pain and suffering he had caused. One day, a knock on the door brought an unexpected visitor. It was a young woman, tears in her eyes as she introduced herself as mang ador daughter. She told me about her struggles with kidney failure and how she had been waiting for a donor for months. It was then that I realized the true depth of the situation. Despite my anger towards her father, I couldn't ignore the fact that this young woman was in desperate need of help. I thought about what my Lolo would have done in this situation. He was a man who always believed in helping others, no matter the circumstances. He used to say, "Kindness always comes back in unexpected ways." With a heavy heart, I made a decision that would change both our lives forever. I decided to donate one of my kidneys to mang ador's daughter, in honor of my lolo and his legacy of kindness. It was a difficult and painful process, but knowing that I was able to save a life brought a sense of peace and closure to my grieving heart. In the end, I realized that forgiveness and compassion were the only ways to truly heal from the pain and loss we had experienced. Despite the tragedy that had brought us together, I found solace in the knowledge that love and kindness had the power to transcend even the darkest of times. And in the end, I knew that my Lolo’s spirit was watching over us, proud of the choices we had made in the face of adversity.
