Kapuso actress Kim Domingo wrote a heartfelt tribute post for a best friend who died after battling lung disease.
Accompanied by throwback photos, Kim shared memories with her longtime best friend and considered her “angel”, Zacharael Gelzz, on Facebook. The actress recalled how they first met in high school and unexpectedly they became best of friends.
According to the BubbleGang mainstay, Zacharael witnessed her heartbreaks in past relationships, her early days as a model in car shows and events, until she finally reached her dreams.
Eventually, when Kim become a Kapuso actress, Zacharael was always with her during tapings and out of town show guestings. He was also her travel buddy. They traveled to Thailand and Macau.
Until one day, Zacharael discovered a “lung mass”, and his health began to deteriorate.
After taking herbal, he said to Kim that the lump became smaller. He regained his for a while and eventually needed him to go back to the hospital for biopsy.
One day, he felt sudden pain and heaviness in breathing. They both took a swab test to made sure if it’s COVID-19 or not. Then, he admitted to the hospital. Kim was thankful he tested negative for COVID-19.
The following day, Zacharael’s mom informed her that her best friend was in critical condition. After a few hours, Zacharael passed away.
“Pagkabasa ko para kong nananaginip! Sabay iyak ng malakas ! Hindi ko kayang paniwalaan kagabi lang kasama pa kita kung alam ko lang sana bago ka bumaba ng sasakyan sinabi ko sayo kung gano kita kamahal bes ! Sana nilingon kita bago ka bumaba ! Hindi man lang ako nakapag paalam ! Napaka sakit ang laking kawalan mo sa buhay ko !… bukod sa pamilya ko ikaw nalang ang kayamanan ko yung tipong kahit anong mangyari sakin andyan ka palagi sa tabi ko.”, Kim wrote.
One of the hardest part, Kim was in disbelief she went to a point that she arranged her best friends own funeral.
“Unang beses na nakita kita gel. Tinititigan kita kasi hindi ako makapaniwala nasa loob ka nyan eh… ayaw mag sink in sa utak ko.”
“Even it’s really hard to accept,may parteng masaya na din ako dahil hindi ka na mahihirapan dahil hindi ko kaya makita kang hirap na hirap. Ang sakit sa dibdib ko… Alam ko palagi ka lang nasa tabi ko at alam ko someday ikaw mismo gagawa ng way para mapunta ako sa lalaking deserve ko at maging masaya. Alam ko noon pa man yung ang gusto mo.”
“One of our friends told me habang nasa burol mo sabi nya ang sabi mo daw sakanya “PRE KAHIT HINDI NA AKO MAG ASAWA MAKITA KO LANG MAGKAROON PAMILYA SI KIM, MAGKA ANAK SYA MASAYA NAKO” and sobra akong napaiyak doon !!! Like grabe ! hindi mona inisip yung ikaw. Ako lagi mong iniisip yung happiness ko at kung ano makakabuti para sa akin. Maraming Salamat Gel”
“Gusto ko malaman mo “NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE YOU, NO ONE ! Ikaw pa din ang nagiisa kong bestfriend… Wag mo na ako isipin kaya ko to ! naging strong din ako dahil sayo. Maraming sa lahat gel…”, Kim wrote.
“Pipilitin ko maging okay kasi alam ko ayaw mo ako nakikitang nagkakaganito. Tutuparin ko pa din lahat lahat ng mga naging plano natin ! Kasama ka kasi sa lahat ng plano ko eh… Basta enjoy ka lang dyan sa piling ni LORD ah. Alam ko palagi kang tutugtog ng gitara dyan at kakanta tapos tatawa ng tatawa habang humahampas hampas pa ang mga kamay mo at inaangat ang mga paa mo. Ganon ka kasi pag sobrang saya mo.”
“Mahal na mahal kita bes. Hanggang sa muli”, Kim bid goodbye.
