Santa Claus

(found in my journal last Christmas)


During our puerile years me and my sister were not introduced to Santa Claus and vice versa.

As a result, we conceived our own Santa Claus as we aged. She is that wonderful person who always unhesitantly gave her best to make me and my sister at our happiest. And yes, it never stopped even until we, her children, got married. No socks dangled on our wall were ever filled with gifts. But our hearts were satisfied with all unconditional love that resentment has no more room to fill in.  We were raised to take pride on the things that cannot be taken away from us-- our principles, the truth, our character.

I am sure she is happy to have finally seen her Creator. She is now in eternal rest and joy while rubbing elbows with the saints with whom she always pleaded intercessions while on earth.

For now, I would write to that one and only Santa we have had. No socks, I promise. Because most have worn out while others are still in the laundry.

I’ll hang just the same heart that she has untiringly filled with love.

Dear Santa Mom,
I hate to break this news to you. I am sad. Since you left I have always been thinking of our mother-son reunion. I am trying very hard to get to where you are when my own time comes. Heaven is quite an impossible goal to get a hold. With all my shortcomings and misjudgments I have the best shot for some period in purgatory. Don’t worry I’ll do my best every minute of the day to seal a place in Heaven. That means you need to help me.

You know the problems we have been facing then? Well they’re still here blocking us from the bright dreams we used to talk about for your beloved grandchildren.

Some trials never seemed to finish. I believe that there is something you can vitally do. Please tell these to God. When He took you back from us, I felt I lost a backbone—the one that has been keeping  me straight and standing.

I missed you very much. 

I love you, Ima and Merry Christmas.

You know my Christmas wish :)


Love,
Bunso

Hopeful

It woke me up with the silly feeling that I will be seeing you again soon. Forgive me for using the word ‘silly’ because I don’t have any logical means to make it happen without putting you to a ton of pains. How long has it been now? I hope you have not been counting, because I haven't. If time lost is time I owe you-- I will forever be indebted. Let me pay you in love when we meet again. Though I can never pay you enough, I promise, I’ll pay you as immensely as possible.  I’ll also pay you by not hurting the people you love and by waiting for the right time.  When we meet again, you can charge me for all my shortcomings. I’ll pay you with my two ears so that I can listen to things you’ve been wanting to tell me. I’ll pay you with my two arms ready to embrace you.  When we meet again, I’ll pay you with all the remaining time of my life. And I'll keep paying you until my heart beats its last. When you see me and you burst into tears, please hide your face on my chest beca...

Minuto

Hi, Babylove. In a few days from now you’ll be 5 years old. I don’t know if you are now able to read and understand messages such as this. I don’t know and that’s my fault. I know where to go to personally see how you are doing. I’m sorry If I choose to keep things  this way--because this is the best way that I can love you for now. This way you have peace of mind. This way you are out of trouble. This way you don’t have to choose. This way the only wrong is me—none about you nor with the rest of the people you love. It has never been this saddest. This sadness cannot be compared to any degree of emptiness, loss and pain. But I have to take this and believe in God. Heaven knows I’ll trade the remainder of my life today just to see you in a minute that doesn’t cause you confusion and pain. Although apparently things are not yet ok, everything is being re-aligned by God. Slowly yet lovingly everything’s gonna be alright.  Someday, I’m going to see and hug you tig...
