Clara's Pure Heart

I had the chance to escape work - that was given  the fact that im working even on Sundays - to visit Batangas. Claras has not seen me in months. When it was her time to showcased her talents she mimic a little ms. philippines (of Eat Bulaga) as says :

"I am Clara Marela Nanlini Fernandez, 3 years old....."

Me (the Malificent) : No! hndi na fernandez name mo.

Clara : Eh bakit yun ang name ko.

Me : Kc hindi na darating si daddy sir mo, kc nasa heaven na sya.

A little silence on Claras part...then

Clara : OK

It was heaven.

It was different from the first instance i told her that her daddy sir won't be coming anymore. it was during a call, and she ask me when will he be coming. i forgot that im talking with a 3 year old girl and just blatantly said so. my mom said clara cried and cried till she fell asleep. and every time somebody park a car outside the gate she would be rushing out to check if it was her daddy sir.

maybe, after sometime...clara also accepted the fact and the truthfulness of my word. that her daddy sir wont be coming. her 3 year old heart might felt what is happening and that made her accept it.

without so much fuss.

can you see the difference? clara with a pure heart forgets easily...mine find it hard to even consider forgiveness. it's because my heart is still cuddling hatred and regrets.

but, like my little clara......time will make me accept everything.

soon im going to say....ok.....

and it will be heaven.

i shared this story to claras ninang jewel....

Jewel : you have done a good job there, till clara discovered that it isnt true her dad is in heaven....because the truth is he is in hell, :P.

talking about bitterness hahaha.
