goodbyes are not forever…
how do you say goodbye to someone close to you, someone you have learned to love as days passed by. it’s hard. i know. but there are things in life and the hereafter that we have to accept. all of us are going in the same direction. some just went ahead a little bit. maybe a few years… a few months… but we too, will go there.
i am writing this article, a couple of hours after i received the sad news. that my sister-in-law’s dad had passed away. i’ve seen their struggles. i’ve seen the love that they had for one another. so unconditional. so pure. it’s about forgiving and accepting one’s limitations. of infinite understanding and patience. of giving each other strength when they themselves are running out of it. yet they still fight the great fight of faith.
we have known each other for about a couple of years. but they always felt like family. and they indeed became our extended one.
tito winnie, this one is for you. i know you’re happy wherever you are now. thank you for accepting Jesus. thank you for making peace with your family, yourself and with God. your time may have passed here on earth but it will leave a legacy… in the hearts of those you have touched. you are a child of God. a child of the Father. and in His house you have a home. a room in His kingdom. i pray you see it.
