There are two people who constantly look out for me and who I know pray for me and keep me in their thoughts. They became family to me . I see them once in a while and write emails to them on occasions.
When I’m too quiet, they know that things are not too good and respect my silence. They ask me to be brave when it gets hard. They understand that it will be awhile before things will get better. Somehow, I get by because I know that they are there for me. How wonderful to know that I have them.
I can never fully explain to them my struggles. The sadness of returning to an empty home at the end of the day; the fearfulness and cynicism; the fear of growing old alone and the struggle to nurture my relationships. But I do not need to explain anything. They embrace me still.
As Christmas is a time for thanksgiving, I thank God for their presence in my life. Their friendships are a balm to my grief, whichever aspect of life.
unearthing words from my heart
Ako ang pinakamasaya kung pupunta ka ng Milan. Anak na ang turing ko sa iyo at kahit ang Daddy mo ay tuwang tuwa nuong sinabi ko na aayusin mo na ang visa mo. Hawag ka magalala dahil nandoon kami para tulungan ka.
