Grabe. Nabigla talaga ako sa balitang ’to.
Isang ina. 47 years old. Pinatay niya ang kanyang anak na si Esteban—isang batang may autism—at pagkatapos, nagpakamatay.
Before she did it, she wrote a letter to her husband, Fernando Cuello. And in that letter, she poured out everything she had kept inside—yung sakit, yung pagod, yung pakiramdam ng pag-iisa.
She said:
“Now you’ll be able to live your life, you won’t have to travel anymore. All I asked for was a hug for Esteban and me, a kiss in the morning before you went to work. We didn’t ask for much… We won’t beg you for more. You’ll remember us for the rest of your life.”
That line broke me.
All she wanted was presence. A hug. A kiss. A little love.
Pero sa kakulangan ng suporta, ng yakap, ng malasakit—she collapsed under the weight of it all.
This isn’t just about one tragic story. This is about so many mothers, na araw-araw lumalaban nang mag-isa. Walang tulong. Walang pahinga. Walang karamay.
We don’t talk about that enough—mental health, emotional abandonment, the quiet suffering inside homes.
Hindi kailangan ng grand gestures. Minsan, all someone needs is a hug. A little effort. A sign na hindi sila invisible.
Kaya kung may kilala kang pagod, tahimik, at tila nawawala na sa sarili—kumusta mo. Yakapin mo. Pakinggan mo.
Sometimes, that’s all it takes to save a life.
