Sharon Cuneta heartbroken over Cherie Gil's passing: 'I will never be the same without you'
You can feel the pain and loneliness of Megastar Sharon Cuneta as she shared on Instagram that she flew to New York to see her good friend and Bituing Walang Ningning co-star Cherie Gil.
In a lengthy post on Instagram on August 6, the actress-singer shared her reunion with her one and only Lavinia Arguelles.
“I flew to New York early yesterday with a heavy heart, still forcing it to hang on to that sliver of hope of God performing a miracle & allowing you to pull through this. I am eternally grateful to Him for giving us the few hours we spent together…the love & words yet again exchanged in person.”
Sharon continued, “The knowledge that the friendship forged when we were very young was stronger & would only keep getting so…You told me about your tree to heaven outside of your apartment window which I didn't get to see. We said “I love you”& I said I'd see you again today…& you raised both arms and gave me the thumbs up with both hands.”
According to the Megastar, she received the news of the death of her best friend 11 hours after spending time with her.
Sharon was devastated saying, “Then barely eleven hours after I left you, I was awakened by his call saying you had passed…I leave New York now with a much heavier heart than ever before…because now I am leaving YOU with the knowledge that I will NEVER see you again…I cannot process it.
“It seems so unfair. It will never be the same without you. I will never be the same without you.I told you that you had to fight,please,because you couldn't leave me & that you were my partner,that there is no one like you…You said yes.But God took you home,took all your pain away.”
The award-winning actress expressed how much she loves her and thanked her for everything.
“I will never get to feed you ice chips again. Or share most everything else with you. Your kids are strong & love you so much. Mike & I won't have to keep our talks about you a secret anymore like we did while taping our show.
“But I don't know how we would want to.I thank God I was with your Dad & Mom & R & all your kids to 'see you off' -but I am not happy. My heart is in pieces again & now I dunno how to put it back together anymore-because among the many loved ones I have lost these past few years, you were & always will be one of my most loved.”
“Be at peace in God's loving arms,my Cheech…I'll see you again someday. I will love you with all my heart, forever. Thank you for everything."
Back in 2014, Cherie's brother Mark Gil, Raphael John Eigenmann in real life, also passed away. He got diagnosed with liver cancer in 2012.
