Happy New Year everyone!
I'm hoping that all of you had an awesome New Year celebration but I am more praying and wishing all of us to have a safe, healthy and blessed 2015.
Time Heals...
The day after Christmas was our most recent visit to my Papa's resting place. This year's New Year is the 3rd time that we had to celebrate it without Papa. It was fun, abundant and full of thankfulness and prayers for good things to come. Papa... The times of sudden outbursts are now slowly disappearing. I tend to compose myself better now compared to the times when I was at the peak of my grief. This time the pain was indeed lesser, but the longing and sadness were still there. You get used to the loss. You are able to adapt to the changes, and are able to face each day with the familiarity that he's not here any longer and that I should move on with our lives. This is the moment where I could truly say that being alive in one's memories does happen. I strong believe that aside from what we see and touch, there's this invisible force within us, that can be paralyzing or empowering. There's this balance in the world indeed, and it also exists within us.
Papa, each day that our dear Lord continues to bless me starts and ends with a prayer for you. We love you Pa!
