In Defense of Joshua Moralejo

*Josh and I had been working on this for almost a week now, and finally its done. I posted this on my page because this is the least i can do for my brother.

My brother is one of the most selfless people Ive ever known. I’m not saying this just because he is my best friend, but I’m sure all of his friends know what I mean. I know him as someone who would do anything for his family and friends, someone who would make you feel comfortable, he is talented, smart and God fearing.

Ive stayed with Josh here in toronto last year during our Chozen days. Ive seen all his efforts and I know how much he loved Kae, Im sure all of his close friends will agree to that. He's very committed, and i know he did everything for her. One short story, one time, Josh, Ralph and I went blonde. Kae saw our pictures and was upset about it. She didnt like Josh's hairstyle. The next day, Josh had his head shaved. Josh would really DO everything to make Kae happy, no doubt about it.

However, I, together with our closest friends could somehow sense that something's not going right. But still, Josh kept it to himself. and I understood him for doing that. If I were in his shoes, I would probably do the same thing, and that is to protect the person that I love. We never heard anything negative against Kae. Josh never opened up any of their problems to us, Not until they went their separate ways.

I was in Chicago when Josh broke the news about his separation with Kae. I was shocked and I really cant believe what Ive heard. Josh had invested so much on their relationship and I was sad to hear the news. But somehow, i still feel for him, eventhough Josh didnt really talk much about their issues, I know what He's been going through. I remember, months before their separation, Josh and I talked on the phone. I asked him how he was doin. He told me that he's good, and working two jobs. I was wonderin why he had to work two jobs, he told me that he'll do anything for Kae. He gave most of his earnings for her, and he was lucky enough if there's a $20 bill left for him, but it doesnt really matter as long as he is doing it for Kae. For Josh, just to see her happy is worth all of his sacrifices.


Despite all that, Josh remained unappreciated. It was also the time when he really needed the support, especially from his wife since he was also preparing for his board exam and not only that, he almost lost his eye due to an accident in his work place. A good friend once told me, "i believe, we all come complete, we just need someone to compliment us." I think that this is somehow related to how josh felt. We do things for the person we love without expecting anything in return, but it feels good to feel loved and appreciated too. One thing that really got me was when Josh told me that he once asked Kae to please tell him that she loves him, He just want to hear it coming from her, Josh even asked her to just fake it, but still, Kae never did... Sometimes, even the heart gets tired...


To Josh, my best friend and my brother,
You are not alone. Be strong and of good courage. you're a good man, God will see you through all of this. We love you.

"Don't loose what u got. And honestly Stop urself from looking back. U got plenty of time for that on another time. Right now you need to focus on what you gotta and how to pull it off."

"Yes wake up . I mean it. If ur decision of leaving Illinois is valid and it's strong enough to give you a reason to try something different, then by all means use it to ur advantage and make it ur reson to be better"
