A Tribute to Louis Christenson Varias Abejuela
Second Death Anniversary
August 26, 2008

After a very long time, I finally had the courage to open some of the pictures of our son, who died of Burkitt’s Leukemia. I also had the inspiration to create a video of him. It’s more than a year of refraining to reminisce those excruciating moments. But this time I want to commemorate his life. I want to let the people know that life, indeed, is beautiful with him.

Relatives, classmates and friends may ask, “How are you right now?” but couldn’t afford to say it in words. We can see it in their eyes how much they long to hear an answer. We hope that this video will enlighten them that having such adversity made us realize how much the Lord loves us despite of what happened.

It was painful… very painful. In fact, it always makes me cry inside everytime I share his life, even now. It is so hard, but what ponders me most is how much God embraces us with His love. What can I ask for?… that’s a rhetorical question.

We dedicate this video to all who, in one way or another, supported, comforted, prayed, and loved us in those trying times. Amazingly, with God’s grace and with your presence, we were able to face the challenges & trials in our lives. Nothing compares to the experience of God’s love who embraces us during those times.

Believe me, his life is worth to tell. We hope and pray that we will continue to share our lives through him and touch other lives for as long as we live. God bless to all.
