STILL GRIEVING. STILL TRUSTING.
God knows how I distanced myself from Him the moment I heard the diagnosis.
I tried to make sense of it by blaming you.
How could you be so "focused on your calling"—fast-forwarding to the end—when you had a wife and kids?
It was easier to get mad than to accept the pain.
We worked side by side in children’s ministry, youth camps, overnights… those moments were full of life and laughter. And maybe that’s why I avoid remembering them now—because the tears come too easily.
I resented God for a long time. For allowing you to suffer. For not healing you. I still don’t fully understand why it had to be this way.
There are days I’m tempted to walk away from all of this. But then I remember: He’s been faithful. He has proven Himself in the past.
And I hold on to that.
Even when it feels like your life was cut too short—like such a gifted servant was taken too soon—I choose to trust His heart. Somehow, even this, even now, serves a greater purpose.
Pastor Jhon Puig, a real servant.
You finished the race.
Faithful. Uncompromising. Full of fire.
And while we mourn here, I know heaven rejoices.

This photo was the last selfie he took using my phone—March 9, 2018. I’m grateful he did. I get to hold on to this smile and share it today.
