Good bye To My Friend Norman
Last July 27,2015 I received a text from my adviser Maam Itchu, she said Norman one of my colleges passed away due to his sickness. I was caught unaware I though she would say thank you for the Data that I gave but a sad news is quite lonesome. Norman K Cua-at can be my childhood friend because I once live in the same baranggay Lubas, La Trinidad for quite some years, we play text cards slide on the street and jump on a nearby water creek. After several years we meet again but as a schoolmate, he was in his 3rd year high school while I am a 4th year transferee in Benguet National High School. He was a talented young guy and he excel in class especially in Math, no wonder they won a Math contest or math Olympiad. On our tertiary days I was not surprise that we have same Course BS Applied Statistics, Collage life is a exciting days. I don not know if BS Applied Statistics is his first choice but I do know that as for me BS Applied Statistics is my Wanderers choice, because I applied for BS Secondary Education as my first choice of course then when I am about to get my rating to the Deans Office I was being Intimidated because the Dean is strict looking (dean Garin ) so I decided to transfer.While we enjoy Collage life I notice Norman is mostly a follower than a leader because whatever direction his batch-mate say he religiously follow. That is when I am impress by his humbleness, no arrogance just a simple school boy. After Collage then that is the time that everything falls upside down I always falls short after him. He is a diligent persona and took Professional Education and Masters Degree for a quite some time and have a job that can be proud of as an instructor in our prestigious school Benguet State University,.. I could still remember when he is taking his masteral thesis, He contacted me and asked for help from which I am so humbled and say "I am just a BS graduate and that is Masteral" but he says "you are a manipulative guy and I know you can Do it and least you have an Idea on it ". The trust that he gave me is what impressed me most yes I can say that I am a manipulative guy because during collage I play poker while He do not but when I explained that all great statisticians are gamblers then he give a try to play cards, but that is just a past time not a career path. By 2011 must be the hard day for Him dark clouds cover his bright sky and a huge rock is to much for him to carry.That is the time when He found out that he have a fathomable disease Brain Tumor that turns out to be Brain Cancer. However from the ill fated disease I saw the strength that every man should have. I saw a man, a leader and a good source of endurance when a hard situation come in our way. The spirit which can split our soul and a fighter in every way even to our greatest adversary DEATH. Then I received the massage from our former mentor Death defeated him. These can be a tragedy for all of us, but can be a source of strength for those struggling, and fearing our Creator. As one visitor during the wake says that we should remember our Creator during our youthful years and strive to do his will. As for Norman says if he live or die he is with God. And as for me though we are in pain today and mourn because of death there would be a time that God will wipe our every tear from our eyes and Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain nor pain be anymore (Revelation 21.:4) During the last day of Norman's wake I saw a lot of people they could be his family, friends, teachers, or just an acquaintance, these proves how good and kind He was. And I went there not only for Him but also I came to give strength the His Family signifying that there is a significant difference being Norman. TO NORMAN GOODBYE and THANK YOU !!!
