This is not going to be an excuse regarding my previous entry that should have been written (and buried all that it entails) eons ago. I’ve kept my peace for too long and my patience thread has been stretched a million more times than it could normally hold. But then again it’s never too late to start sleeping soundly with immense peace in your heart now that the last piece of rock has been placed over the tomb. Now I’ll try harder not to look back and just move forward with a huge hope that God has the best plans for me and Raine– ready to unfold in His own wonderful time.
To those who’ve read this blog: I never meant to shock (or scandalize) anyone. I just knew that even if the truth terribly hurts, it shall set me free. And it did. Right, no one can fully imagine what kind of hell I’ve wrestled with, literal and figurative. I would have lost the battle if not for Raine. I’m slowly getting there but I still pray that I be whole again…
Speaking of patience…of holding on…of letting go…and of graciously taking-in all hurts/pains/difficulties with endearing pride, faith and hope. And coming out of it all beautiful and victorious. There’s no better example I know than this dearest friend Abby. She never forgot to give me a birthday token or card. Though I can’t remember if I ever gave her one! Of all those cards she gave me, this one she made herself, has touched me the most:
For my friend Glo,
I keep trying to think
Of the perfect words to say,
The perfect thing to do
To make this difficult life easier…
There are no perfect words,
But there is the silent strength
Of our friendship.
And I hope just knowing
How much I care can help.

Keep Smiling, Happy Birthday!
Labs,
Abby
Simple, unfettered…ready to fly (quoting from her Friendster profile): Couldn’t have described this amazing lady who passed most tests of time…and more. Happy birthday Abby! You never cease to inspire me. I love you.
