A story of a bone cancer patient who doesn't believe in God, at first..

I still remember my uncle, a Bone Cancer patient. I was only 17 when the doctor diagnosed it. My uncle, as far as i know, was a very strong man, a man with words of honor and with dignity. I would say that he was my favorite among my 3 uncles. But despite of his strong personality, only one thing i disliked him was we never convinced him that there is God. He praised nobody except his own beliefs. Until he discovered thas he's dying of Bone Cancer. At first, he just accepted it without knowing that it was a very painful disease. He just ignored the fact that one of these days,the killer cancer can make his life a miserable one. After a month, the most unwanted moment had come. The tranquility of their house was suddenly changed into a loud shout of a man. My uncle shouted and shouted! he almost cried. He told us, how to ease the pain?! Even a double dosage of Valium can't make him stop. I really can't help myself but cry. I asked the Lord to please help him. Days passed but still my uncle's mourn was just a bell to their ears.I saw his well-built body was slowly turned into a thin, lousy body! His eyes was big with a black eye bug around.One day, i visited him inside his room. I was wondering why he asked me question like this. "Vangie, do you really love me, niece?" I just laughed and answered' of course uncle!' To my surprise, he commanded me to take any kind of poison, he want to die he shouted again! He asked for my help because he really can't take the pain. He said 'it's killing me softly! please kill me, please! That time, only words that i uttered was, "you asked that uncle to God and i'm sure that there's a reason behind that, he will help you". It was only once, until i heard uncle saying this "Lord, my Lord, i believe in you, have pity on me, please help me'" The next day, i saw him with the rosary and image of Lord Jesus at hand. He kept on praying and asking for forgiveness of his sins. He told them to call for his children. I knew that gesture, and i don't want to see my uncle leaving. Just 7 steps away from him,i just heard them crying. He's gone! I also cried and cried. I realized that Lord still give him a chance to repent and to believe that there is God. And no one has the right to get their own lives, nor the power to others to end his life. Nobody except God. To my uncle, wherever you are, i'm sure that you're with the Lord. Peace be with you.
