Inday, Inday, What Have You Done?

Our training, among other things, was temporarily put to a halt when our household help who we will conveniently cover under the name “Inday” attempted to take her own life last Thursday morning by drinking a whole bottle of Eskinol.  We stopped training  and instead ran against time to make sure she gets all needed hospital care to make her well again.  You can just imagine the flurry of activities we needed to do — 3 hospital transfers, contacting her relatives, relating the incident endless times, trips to the lab, x-ray, pharmacy…. cashier… precinct… legal counsel… whoa, what a couple of days those were!

She survived and lived to tell her story. Thank God!

By Saturday afternoon, she was talking clearly and able to stand and walk around.  Doctors advised that she may be discharged the following day.  We were relieved and comfortable enough to continue on with our scheduled race the following day at the Rexona Run.

Thank God for letting us run our 21k race the following day.  We were able to run our stress awaaaay!

Thanks to Runrio and Rexona for an excellently-organized, runner-stress-free race!  We needed that!!!

After the race, we were off to worship service and to the hospital right after to settle the bill…. Haaay, we need another 21k after this!!!

Inday, Dodong, Maria, Juan…  your life is precious; a  gift from the Father who created us in His own image.  Let’s live it well so that when the time comes and we are called back in His appointed time NOT ours, we can delight in His words, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

May God bless us all with wisdom and understanding. 

Inday, Inday, never again, okies?
