I sometimes ask myself how much longer I can keep up with the Thursday visits, especially when bad news hits you like the update we got this morning from Cynthia the Kythe coordinator. My friend Knowell Placero, my smiling friend who loved posing for my camera in his trademark 'feeling guapo' style.. who I promised - TWICE at that - that I would print out and give him his pictures, finally left us. I was unable to do my visits early February. He died February 8, the day after Chinese New Year. I thought all the while he looked healthy and was getting better, but then they said the added weight was a result of the steroids. I never sent him all those pictures I took of him, I kept postponing, I kept telling myself I'd save them in a CD and bring them to Kameraworld in Shang Mall but I never got around to doing it. He asked for them and I promised him, and I never did it. I am posing your pictures here now, Knowell. I bid you farewell my friend, you're in a much happier place now and you can keep on smiling your big sunshiny smile the way I will always remember you.

This is a touching story.
My mother and I are surfing the net for people we knew, when I thought of typing the name of my nephew, Knowell Placero. We were shocked to learn that my nephew has passed away last 2008. My mother cried and so did I. I was teaching my mother how to use the net, and we are both enjoying our bonding time together until we learned about this. I could still remember the last time I saw this kid. He smiled, laughed and kissed me as he and his younger brother, Richie said their goodbyes. My mother told me to get in touch with their mother Bhing Placero, but I could not send her a message in her facebook. The only thing I can do is to pray for his departed soul and to include him in our church's prayer petition box. In that way, more people will be praying for him. But I hope and pray that I will know where he is buried so that I can pay him a visit from time to time.
This is my thrid try now. Knowell if you are preventing this to happened am humblt asking you to let me post this. My first first try was full of anger and hatred to myself. I could have been there when he was suffering. hug Knowell and kiss him. But I wasnt. Can't take back the hands of time. Right now am in grief. I could only think of ending it all just to have my kid back. the news came to after 4 years through the net accidentallay. All the while i though everyhting is fine with Bing, Knowell and Ricci. I even came to a point of stalking them in the place I know where they will be... in manila. This is tragic for me. Am crying right now 3am coz the news tha hit me 24 hours ago which happened 4 years ago is devastating. I may not be the best person to be a candidate of ulirang ama award but still the same AMA pa din ako. Bing if you'll read this pls let me know where our son lies. KNOWELL ANAK, ALWAYS REMEMBER WHEREVER YOU ARE, MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA. tAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHER Ricci. Any info bout where my son Knowell lies will be greatly appreciated. am henj pls email me henjflores-11@yahoo.com.ph or my mobile phone 09323177712. I remain
