f.y.i

IN the morning I visited Anton.
I noticed he was slowly sinking.
The choice was to continue looking after him with no hop.
I was trying to call his name in Konkani. Anton...Anton...
He was not responding. His feet were numb.
the next option 
To put him in the Hospital to see if his diabetes would come down.
In the evening at 5.pm I went to the Lady Pilar Hospital.
were he was admitted in the ICU ward.
I went inside. And saw that the doctors were seriously struggling on him.
I immediately went to inform the Fr Roy Miranda who is  In-charge of the Infirmary.
Talking to him

The phone from the Lady Pillar rang.

When I reached my room in the Rosary School.

The end came very fast. Given the situation it was the best for our friend Anton.

ANTON HAS GONE.

MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
