"Jessca, please assist Xander's classmates on that table." mom said and she pointed the table nearest to us.

"Yes mom, I can handle." and then I walk towards them.

"Hey guys! Are you enjoying the party?" I asked my brother's friends.

"Hey Jess! Yeah, we're doing great here." Chad, one of his friends answered.

It's been a week since we go the church for a Sunday mass. And as Kuya Xander wishes, we are having a house party. All of our relativesare here. As well as his friends, classmates and teachers.

"Mic test. One, two, three." mom said on the microphone. "Good evening everyone! We are all here as our Xander requested. I would like to give entrance to our son, Xander Castillo, as he say his words for everyone of you. Ladies and gentlemen, our son, Xander!" and a spotlight was lightened to our brother.

(Play the song on the right side to feel the scene :)) )

"Good evening everyone. I'm glad all of you were here for this last house party I'm gonna have before I die. For your information, I'm said to have a brain tumor and has only a month more to live. Before I die, I want to say sorry for all the people I've hurt. Please forgive me for telling lies, saying bad things about you and those little misunderstandings. I'm, very sorry. Now I realized I really should value each of you for being there when I needed you most..." and my brother started to cry.

"Thank you you for your existence in my everyday life. Because of you, my life was complete. Thanks you for all of the happy memories we've shared..." and he paused for a while..

"And thank you also for the sad memories that challenged us to be more brave and to build more trust to each other. Thank you very much. I don't know how I'll continue my life without each of you in it. I'm very thankful to God for giving me people like you. For my relatives who are always there, thank you. For my cousins who are always with me everytime I do a prank, thanks couzs. For my titas and titos who always scolded me for making fun of their plants, I promise I won' play fun with them anymore. For my teachers, whou taught us what they've learned for their past years. The one who go to school everyday just to be stressed by our noise, thank you. For my classmates, thank you for the times when we're laughing like there's no tomorrow because of a corny joke by one of the joker of the class. Even when we share answers during a surprise quiz by a terror teacher.." we all laugh when he say that.

"The class president and vice president who always make sure we're organized. The secretary who is so diligent to write the notes on the board and rewrite it in his notebook. The treasurer who can be trusted to keep the class' funds. And the peacemakers... Well,  I'm one of them.. Who are the ones who make noise instead of peace.." and we burst out laughing. "Thank you my dear classmates. For my friends, thank you very much..I-I don't know what to say.." and he started crying again. "I just wanna thank my friends for supporting me with everything I did..." and he looked at us.. his family.

"And my family.... Mom, dad, Jess, thanks for organizing this party. Mom.. Thank you very much for being there when I need you. For being my shoulder when I'm dumped. For being the best mom in the world. I love you mom. Dad... Hey! I'm sorry I'm being a crybaby now. Just let me cry for now. Thanks dad for being there to support me when I need someone to teach me how to courta girl. Thanks for everything. This may sound gay but.. I love you dad." and when I look at dad, I saw him mouthed 'I love you too son'.

"Bryle... Bro! I know you don't understand what I really mean. But if I die, please replace me. Be the one who'll save your ate Jessca, mom and as well as dad. Be their Superman as what I did. I'll leave my room, guitar and boy things in yout hands. Use them anytime. And please take care of our family... for me. And Jessca... Hey sis! You what people, Jessca has been my Supergirl all these years. She always support me when I do something. She gives me her advices as a girl. Jess.. thank you and sorry. I'm the luckiest kuya because I have you as a little sis.." and I also started to cry. "Sorry because I'm gonna leave you soon. Please be a good girl.." and I mouthed 'I will'. "And if someone hurt you or broke your heart, I'll hunt them to death! Haha! I love you sis!" he said while crying.

"I love you too, bro!" I replied that made him smile.

"And to all the people here," he continued. " Thanks for being a part of 19 years of my existence. I love you all.. Please promise to be happy if I left..."

"We promise!" we all replied in unison.

I never thought kuya Xander thank and love me that much. I thought what I'm doing is just because I'm his sister. Now I realized I did all of that because I love him.. And I do cherish my Superman, my brother.

After many hours of partying, he need to rest. So the guests left one by one. And we decided to claim him in the hospital and he'll stay with us in our home.

"Mom, dad, Bryle, Jessca.. Thank you. I love you all.." and he closed his eyes to sleep.
