Many of us suddenly lost a best friend on June 2nd. Nicholas (Nicky) Cabal was an extremely loving and kind soul. Many who met him were often left feeling better about themselves afterwards. He loved kids so much that he wanted to become a Pediatrician. He faced many obstacles on his way to achieving his dream, including battling lupus. Dr Cabal was in his 2nd year of residency at Loma Linda Hospital and made an impact on the lives of his patients and colleagues. We lost a light in this world, but we hope to keep it shining through ourselves.
His friends wish to help the Cabal family with the necessary expenses required during this very difficult time. All proceeds will go to a member of the Cabal family for this purpose.
For those who prefer to donate via Venmo or PayPal, please send to Rannel Liwanag with the appropriate note. We will add it to these funds along with your name.
Thank you for your support of the #nickeymouseclub.
I will end with a post that Nicky wrote in his blog dated April 23, 2010, and is extremely relevant ten years later. It's safe to say he accomplished what he set out to do.
____________________________________________
All of us have it. It's called ambition. The call we hear inside to aspire to do and be something greater. The books I have been reading lately (e.g. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho novels, and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch) center around a person's need for accomplishment. And it has got me to thinking.
What do I want to accomplish?
There's no best way to answer this, but I can say some overly general paths I want to walk towards.
I want...
1. to do something that will affect others in a positive way, to give them the drive for life that I feel. This is first and foremost.
2. to be able to say that I feel no hatred towards others. Though I may disagree with people and situations, I want to be in a state where I can at least be understanding. (This is inspired by A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson - which I'm still in the process of reading)
3. to take on tasks I see others take which I at first think is too much work or which intimidate me.
4. to continue to work at things I don't have an innate talent for but still enjoy doing.
5. to be a person that can be counted on.
