I don’t say,
“I’m glad it happened”. Neither will I ever say it in any
future time.
But it ought to
happen.
Reasons? So many.
One is—so that I can rise for His glory.
And that is the
process I am presently striving for. I’m no longer counting the
months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds… The
process is undeniably painful but it’s worth every bit of stab,
bite, punch, kick, strike, sting or whatever equivalent agony it can be.
One very close
cousin and a Franciscan Friar individually told me, “You are gonna
write your story. It’s not gonna end today. You are just going to
close this chapter and open a new one. And the book will inspire many
because the story is going to be beautiful”
These past 8
months (oops, I did count, anyway) have been the longest 8 months of
my life. It is in this facet of my struggles that I’ve found and
re-discovered people who had helped me fight the battle. And I am
winning. No, not in the legal way because nothing in that aspect
needs to be fought for. No one wins in that scheme, anyway. I am
winning myself back.
It ought to
happen so that I can rediscover people and myself.
In an extreme
situation such as I had, I discovered that person in many figures in me.
The father, the son, the brother, the cousin, the nephew, the friend, the
leader. I also realized how much love can do. No credits to me. What
I meant is the love from these different circles that envelop me:
family and friends.
It ought to
happen so that I can love more.
First months
were… hmmm, what’s the word? Ah, ok. HELL.
It was hell. But I got thru it. I did not see it coming. A marksman
shot me like a deer in an open field. I had no shield. I hit the
ground face first. But I’m now standing head up high—not
necessarily unscathed—bearing the lessons of this experience. I don't know but this event drew me to believe in love all the more.
Ok, it already happened
but this too shall pass.
