"You were almost home..."
After all those years of sacrifice, distance, and longing, you were finally just a few miles away. The doors of home were waiting, hearts were ready to embrace youโbut heaven called too soon. You gave so much for others, carried dreams across oceans, and endured silent tears no one saw. It hurts deeply knowing you didnโt make it back into the arms of those who loved you most. But you are home nowโin their hearts, in their prayers, and in the peace of eternity. Thier are Thankful for everything you've done. You will never be forgotten by your love ones waiting for you.
Rest in peace kabayan.
Appreciate our OFWs.
They sacrifice time, love, and comfort just to give their families a better life. Their journey is not easyโthey carry silent battles behind their smiles.
Never delay love.
Tell people you love them while you can. Welcome them, check on them, send messages. Sometimes we donโt get another chance.

But instead of a joyful reunion, her family received the most painful surprise of all.
๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ โ an OFW who had just arrived from Japan โ was so close to finally being home. She boarded a bus from Cebu, just a few miles away from her hometown, excited to surprise her loved ones.
But she never made it. ๐
She died on that bus. Alone. Of cardiac arrest.
๐ฏ๏ธ Her luggage was filled with gifts... but her body carried the weight of years of sacrifice.

And no one knew how close she was to breaking down โ not from weakness, but from giving too much of herself to everyone but herself.

Please listen to your body. Take care of your health. Rest is not selfish โ itโs survival.

Check on them even while theyโre away. Ask how theyโre doing. Insist on medical checkups. Remind them they matter โ not just for what they give, but for who they are.
