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.
๐ To all of us chasing dreams:

Coming home alive is more important than bringing pasalubong.

But the surprise became grief.
The excitement turned to mourning.

Your story is heartbreaking, but your life will not be forgotten.
You gave everything โ even your last breath โ for the people you love.
May your story awaken the hearts of many. See you in Paradise, our modern-day hero.
