The much-awaited inspiring story of Caitlin Soleil Lucas or more popularly known as “Courageous Caitie” finally aired on MMK last Saturday, June 25,2016. Viewers of the longest running anthology of ABS-CBN “Maalaala mo kaya” cried their hearts out while watching the episode.
Caitie had been diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, a rare blood disease. Doctors here in the Philippines cannot have a proper diagnosis as they went from hospital to hospital. So her parents decided to fly to Singapore for her treatments. “Courageous Caitie” was a Facebook page set up by her parents to raise funds for her expanding needs as her disease progressed. But unfortunately, last March, Caitie wasn’t able to survive and passed away. Her story of bravery reached a lot of people all over the world, and the family received overwhelming comforting even from strangers.
Her parents said that they agreed to share their daughters story so that her inspiration would live on. They also said that they wanted the audience, not to cry, but for them to be moved to something and to practice their faith. They want people to understand grace and to find ways to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
“If sharing difficult milestones and the death of Caitie will point people to Jesus, then OK. It’s our only reason to say yes to this. It is our deepest desire that those who followed our story will indeed experience a personal relationship and a revival.” they posted in the said page before the airing of the episode.
Meanwhile, JC De Vera and Shaina Magdayao were lauded for their phenomenal performance of the roles. Netizens expressed their awe and how inspired they were in Twitter where #MMKCourageousCaitie trended. Most of them agreed that Caitie were very brave in fighting her illness.
