Rest in peace Catherine Joy Villanueva
Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Everything happened so fast. It was just YESTERDAY when I visited and donated my own blood for her to use, and yet earlier today we received the message saying that she passed away.
Ka-te with local celebrity Jericho Rosales
Who was Catherine Joy Villanueva?
She was biologically my 2nd cousin. I will remember Ka-te (as she is fondly called) as a simple, slightly shy, always smiling, and respectful young woman.
The cause of her untimely demise...
Complications to the kidney was said to be the main culprit, Ka-te comes from a broken family. Her parents both love her very much but taking turns caring for her plus the fact that both have day jobs made supervising of what Ka-te eats very difficult. It was said that her diet mostly consist of junk foods, notoriously salty foods that might have aggravated the complications further.
Her last day...
What I saw in the hospital was not the same old smiling Ka-te I used to know. Lying before me was a pale-colored, withered, and anxious individual that even needed an oxygen mask just to breath properly. I was told that she had just vomited before I got there. She was still conscious, I wanted to tell her to be strong and start praying but chose not too since the last thing I want to do is to scare her even further about her mortality. I finally said goodbye since it was time for my blood donation and she needed to rest, not knowing that it would be the last time I'll be seeing her alive.
It's better to burn out than to fade away...
Ka-te was a good kid, she would've turned 19 years old this friday. She hasn't even reached her prime yet.
May she rest in peace,
Catherine Joy "Ka-te" Villanueva

And I thought she was on her way to recovery. :(
Yesterday was my 2nd grandma's first death anniversary, a sad day for both our families. Hope that Kate and my 2nd grandma are happy wherever they are now.
