MARRIAGE

| at 9:32 AM


Marriage is not an assurance of security, total comfort and perfect happiness. At the start of marriage, everything begins from the basics. There are lots of difficulties to encounter, challenges to face, unfavorably tough situations to undergo and maybe unpleasant things to experience.
But when all of these are surpassed and what's got to be proven true is done, Marriage is surely a HOME itself dwelt by the warmth of LOVE and TRUST.

Letter to an OFW Dad

Labels: , , , , | at 9:48 AM


Dear daddy,

I saw mom making this letter one silent evening. Believing I was deeply asleep, she sat few meters away, held her pen and started squeezing out all her thoughts, emotions and sentiments. She caught me staring at her, we we're both quiet as if we had cryptic mental interconnection. Her hand did not pause writing while her misty eyes looked at only two directions. After throwing glances at me, she cast attention to the paper. It's so amazing that mom was able to read the contents of my innocent mind. I was 7 months old when it happened, I could neither speak verbally nor read any words but I had the gift of understanding. The sadness concealed in mom's heart is shown through her expressive eyes. When my tummy clamored for milk every midnight, I couldn't resist waking up. Mom was still awake during that time and her silent weeping was very obvious to me.


I know the reason why mommy continued her job, she wanted to keep herself busy so as to ignore her longings for you each waking hour of the day. Dad, it's been 3 months since you walked away and left a sincere promise of a safe return. Now, mom is able to flash happy smiles again and her laughters sound well, maybe she has already adjusted to the situation.


We wouldn't be waiting long, every month is followed by another so quickly. Two years might unnoticeably pass with less anticipation. God's plan is incredible, His will is in favor to us and His mercy overflows. I know He listens to our earnest prayers and requests. We will meet soon Dad; by the time you come back, I would tell you to stay and never leave our happy home again.


Missing you so,

Carl

FAR AWAY

Labels: , , | at 8:47 AM


It's been quite long since my first post was added here in this blog site. If I didn't scan my old notes, remembering my username and password would be impossible. Here I am now staying awake late at night with the company of my computer, expressing my inmost thoughts and heartdeep insights.


1 year and 9 months more to go before my longings would come to an end. Being far away from home and loved ones is the hardest situation to endure - it's the kind of feeling my husband suffers now for he works in Saudi to provide our baby's needs as well as mine. He's such a responsible partner and a loving father. Missing his presence so much, I look forward to being with him again in God's will.

my new HOME....

Labels: , , | at 6:23 PM

It was my childhood dream to have a family of my own since I grew up with my grandma, aunties & uncles who never ceased loving & supporting me. Even though my life has been incomplete with the absence of my parents, I'm still happy to think & look back at how I was compassionately raised by my relatives.

Now, I'm on my way to building a family with the man I married 3 months ago. Being a wife, I am trying to be the kind of partner that every husband would love more. It may not be easy having been trapped in this situation, but at least I have achieved one of my greatest dreams....that is to have a family- a shelter where I can rest and find comfort in...What adds to my happiness now is the positive result of my pregnancy test. I am conceiving our first baby.... God has been so good to me. He did not fix my broken family as what I always prayed for, but He has given me a new HOME to belong to...my very own FAMILY.
