Email exchange with Azon and Pilar- Re: Ernesto del Rosario's Life Story
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
Josie writes to Corazon and Pilar: You're absolutely right about the beautiful feeling one gets after reading Ernie's bio. It is a must read, not only for the young people, but for us,as well. For the young, life's teachings in it would give them the inspiration to overcome obstacles, and realize that success is within reach of those who dream and work hard, no matter how economically underpriveleged one is. For us, who are in the twilight of our years, we need strength not of the physical kind, but rather of the spirit, as we need to be healed of thebruises and wounds inflicted on us by the struggles of years past. INSPIRATION to enjoy and look with a childlike confidence and anticipationto each day of the remaining years of our lives. At this stage, what better way to do that than to share our thoughts andmemoirs with one another, that made us better persons, after coming out ofour darkest moments unscathed.we all went through that, you and me and the rest of the batch.
