The year 2012 started with a challenge - how to pack all the materials things that I have accumulated during my fellowship year in Manila without earning the ire of my patient husband - and I failed. I had to pay a considerable amount of money to Cebu Pacific for the excess baggage. Countless times has my reminded me to send some of these things ahead of time but I procrastinated.

I have been told by those who have come before me that I will face the considerable task of making palliative care be known, understood and accepted in Dumaguete City. I had to prepare myself; and I knew, even at the beginning, that could not do it possibly do it alone. It is in the moments of hesitation that I became more conscious of the people and circumstances that God has presented to me.
