My cousin's son and his wife visited me a few weeks ago.
They have one of the most serene of marriages I have ever observed. They are always sweet, always giggling together. Always whispering some private things into each other's ears. I asked the wife what is the secret of their peaceful relationship.
"We have decided from the very start, never to quarrel. When he is angry, I listen. When he is angry, he tells me what makes him angry. Then he leaves for awhile to cool off. Usually he is just outside the door. He is never too far. Then he comes back. We never bring up old issues that had been resolved."
They are both just 25 yrs old. And they have two cute sons. They've been married for almost 8 yrs.
They barely earn enough to eat three square meals a day. But for me, they are one of the wealthiest couples I know in this planet.
I'm putting my emotions boxed in, coz I'm afraid I might fall into pieces. I can't even find the words to reply to the posts. Pls pardon me. But pls know I appreciate your posts. Very much so.
There are certain things I cannot say in public, and most of the people who know me well, would agree that I'm a very private person. Maybe that's why they trust me with their deepest and innermost secrets.
I didn't get a chance to say farewell properly with my closest and dearest friends. They are more like my sisters than mere friends. But atleast this way, there were no goodbyes. God-willing, I'll be seeing them again soon.
I hate goodbyes and I hate to cry. I'm tired of crying.
With childlike faith and anticipation, I'm trusting that He who loves us all, has a good thing in store for us.
I don't want to leave the Philippines, but every thing is all set. "Can't waste the opportunity." Etcetera. Etcetera.
One of my companions to leave the country is very ill. Her recovery will determine whether I leave or stay.
I'm online now, just for half an hour, to unwind, to refresh my mind, to breathe in polluted air in contrast to hospital air.
I deeply appreciate your posts, and I'm grateful that you still take time to write, despite the fact that I barely have time to reply. What's important is, your presence is felt and I thank you for that.
