I just got back from a funeral. Before I joined my high school basketball team I joined an outside basketballk organization called “Kingsbay”. I met so many good players and good people in general durning my time there and one of them was Coach Otilio. Unfortunatly he wife just passed away from cancer and today. I went to the funeral after not seeing him for so long. He recognized me immidiaty when he saw me and I was really happy to see him, I just wish it was on better circumstances. He was at the podium sharing some good stories and memories about his wife and he looked so hurt and still stayed so strong through everything. I wish I could have jus had my hand on his sholder during the whole speech. I’m really bad at showing condolances towards someone who has lost a loved one and I can only figure its because I haven’t lost someone extreamly close to me in my life. All I could do was hug him & pray the pain goes away over time, and unfortunatly I kno, it won’t. To lose my wife after such a long time I know would break me. There’s really not that many good woman in the world now a days and to figure someone, found one, one that they connected with more than anyone in the world, someone that they decided was worth bearing their soul to everyday and spending 25 plus years with married, and then they get taken from you too soon…its not fair. I wish the best for him and his family..his son and daughter which I played basketball with in my kingsbay years. That being said I’d just like to express my deepest concern when I tell everyone, stronger towards women to get check ups regularly for everything especially cancer, ESPECIALLY pancreas cancer. They say by da time they diagnose you with it, its too late. So take a step forward and make sure your ok.
