THIS IS FOR YOU, PYRO


JUST LIKE THE SUN
- Raffi

Just like the birds that keep on flying
Just like the wind that keeps on blowing
I see a wave of oceans rolling on and on
Just like the sun, these gifts are here for everyone

Just like the trees that keep on giving
Just like the grass that keeps on growing
I hear the sound of children singing on and on
Just like the sun, these gifts are here for everyone

Just like the flowers that keep on blowing
Just like the leaves that keep on turning
I feel the change of seasons going on and on
Just like the sun, these gifts are here for everyone

Just like the moon that keeps on shining
Just like the stars that keep on twinkling
I know the world of wonder playing on and on
Just like the sun, these gifts are here for everyone

It's almost a year ago... no, let me correct the sentiment in this statement.

It has only been a year ago when Pyro was diagnosed with cancer... a year that feels like ages past, and since then, he's been in and out of the hospital for stuff no child his age should ever have to go through. But he's been brave and he has been battling every single snag thrown at him, up to this very moment.

Remarkable, isn't it, for one so young. What's even more remarkable is that through it all, he hasn't forgotten how it is to be a kid... to play, and sing, to have heroes, and to wish.

He has seen Batista (yes, the wrestler) on TV and he wishes to see him in person too. Unfortunately he can't go to the malls like the other kids to grab at that once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity cause he has to be in the hospital.

So if by some 'fat' chance you are Batista and you are reading this, please know that you are this kid's sun right now. What say you shine your rays on him and make his day one of these days? I'll owe you one big time.

If you're reading this and you are not Batista but you have a means of making this kid's dream come true, why not try and make it? I'll owe you one big time too.

Now, if you are reading this and you are not Batista nor can you make this dream come true but you have a blog, you're welcome to blog about it and hope with us that in some godsent way, your blog will be read by someone who can channel the request to the right people. I will owe you one nonetheless.

And if you are reading this and you are not Batista, and you don't have the means to make this dream come true nor are you maintaining a blog, please join us and pray that somebody, somewhere, somehow will be able to do something and yes, I will owe you one too.
