Actor Andrew Schimmer and his children kept their spirits alive on Christmas day despite a death in the family.
On Facebook, Andrew shared a photo of his family as they posed near the casket of his wife Jorhomy “Jho” Rovero who passed away last Dec. 20.
Earlier, Andrew said that he hated Christmas when his wife passed on just a few days before Christmas.
But it seems that the actor has a changed of heart about the holiday season.
In a lengthy post, Andrew greeted his fans and friends although he admitted that he is not in the mood to celebrate the season. But he encouraged everyone to show their love to their loved ones if they are still alive. His full post:
"Merry Christmas…though it’s not a very merry season for us. That’s not a good reason to let this season pass without greeting all of you beautiful souls a Happy, and full of love Christmas season. Few days ago, my HEART left my body when the love of my life left Her body.
"ADVISE: don’t waste a single day without you telling your love ones how much you love them, for we do not know what can happen to us when our time comes. Don’t waste your time on arguments or silly small talks, if your in love with someone, make sure that person knows how much you love them, make them feel every single bit of your heart.
"Don’t hesitate to hug somebody, for we do not know when we can hug that person again
“REGRET” is the most painful thing that you can experience in this life. So please don’t let EGO dictate the will of your HEART.
"Love without hesitation and without reason…be silly, be ỉn loved, be inspired of this love…do everything and anything that will make you and your love ones happy. I would give up anything in this world, anything…MAKITA, MAYAKAP AT MAKAUSAP KO LANG PO ANG AKiNG ASAWA ONE LAST TIMEkung ang mahal mo sa buhay ay katabi mo pa ngayon kapatid, yakapin mo sila ng mahigpit. Hindi mo kaylangan ng dahilan para gawin ito, sapat ng dahilan ang mahal mo sha.
"Iparamdam mo tol sa kanya na sha ang buhay at mundo mo, na sha ang Reyna ng kaharian ng puso mo, na para sayo sha ang pinaka magaling, pinaka maganda at pinaka importante sa lahat.
"Gawin mo na ang lahat para sa kanya HANGGAT KAYA AT PWEDE NYA iTONG MARAMDAMAN. Give everything and anything for love, and you will never regret it," Andrew wrote.
