R.I.P. fruit_loops

[[BiA] Eaglefire]

Sad to inform u all:


"For 10 days, his charisma filled the world and temporarily united all people from all nations. Not the use of any word will ever describe the immensity of his bravery. Known only as fruit_loops, the unknown soldier of the internet yet in real life he existed, he is our new icon of hope.

With these words, I regret to inform you that we lost our little fighter at 1117H (Pacific Time) today, the 5th of January 2004. His recovery was cut short by the worst seizure he ever had that lasted more than 40 minutes despite emergency medical interventions. He is now resting in peace and rest assured, he will struggle no more from pain.

Please accept our gratitude for all your time, your love and your prayers. xtremepaintballcanada.com will always be proud to have been selected by an unknown force to beam to the world the last 10-days of the life of our little fighter or our little man or our wee man as we all have been endeared to the existence of such terms.

Let’s rally the world again one more time and give the family words of encouragement and support. Please go back to where you chanced on the story of our little fighter and post a statement of gratitude not only from us but make it from the world.

If he touched your lives, please submit your post-scripts. In lieu of cards, flowers, gifts or donations to the family, please redirect them to a cancer research organization of your choice.

Do remember the countless fruit_loops we have around the world. Respect their pain and sufferings, please.

To the various men and women and institutions who fought fruit_loops’ battle alongside with him, a thank you is all we can afford. Let’s keep God in our hearts.

Fruit_loops´mom

It's Bekkie, fruit_loops' mom. I thought this fight will last sometime but he is gone. Gone but will not be forgotten. We had our share of happy moments despite great sadness. Accepting that our son, our baby, the little fighter as we've known though short has accomplished his mission should make us forget the pain. I wouldn't deny my present sadness but he was just lent to us and the lender took him back.

Stefie, my son's doctor was right to say 3 months. I tried to forget for when to count the 3 months in my selfishness and fear of losing my son. I hid the truth to everyone. He was due to go if I may count what 3 months is all about. It was God's will to make him the happiest on his last days. I can honestly say he was the happiest. Nobody had a clue that his last loud giggles were the last we heard. Sitting beside him so proud on how he tuck his fight to his backbone I thought those giggles mean the start of a new life as a kid once more.

However sad the feeling is to lose him, yes it was the start of his new life without pain but only happiness. I can't imagine how much more sadness my family must have been to if we continued to live the kind of life we were able to afford until his last breath. I couldn't of imagined how much more pain I have if he passed away with nothing done to help him. I earn just enough to make ends meet. I feel so bad that at times, I wasn't able to buy him some of his medicines. I can't breath if I look back to how I felt in the countless seizures he had because I was delayed in buying his medicines. I wanted to keep his sufferings away but I only earn small. His medicines cost more than my salary. I begged for my son a few times but I'm proud I did it. As a beggar, I felt numb. At times I was lucky, most times I wasn't. I go home proud that I did it for my son but I silently shed tears in my room alone after. I feared christmases and everytime it comes, I feel numb and dead. It's hard when you are too broke to make a child understand that it is yet another ordinary day. My fear of christmas will be erased forever.

It was christmas when my son met this stranger known only as Pdx.Sierra. This person with a big big heart single-handedly lifted my son and made him the happiest in his last days with us. Up to this minute, I still don't know his real name and after all, he expects nothing in return. In giving my son the xbox he really really wanted for Christmas, I thought it was the greatest gift. But no, he didn't stop. He called more people to come to help us. But still no stop. This little fighter's funeral was the kind fit for a big general. My son was given too much dignity and respect as he was laid to rest.

Pdx.Sierra made it sure that our son will be happy forever. He chose not to be at the funeral where attention would focus on him. He assured me that he is with us watching. After all, yet he didn't stop. When all is through, I will start a job at a cancer hospital, a job he requested from yet another friend, where they will train me to support grieving families who lost or at the stage of losing a family member or a friend. I will do everything to give my best to recognize all that was given us. I am looking forward to make people stronger the way you made me stronger.

We'll all smile for being able to share with the short yet meaningful life of Mattie, or fruit_loops that you came to know. Thank you all so much for understanding and for accepting us. I will teach myself not to cry no more.
