or just to look away for a few moments more….

I just got back from a meeting when I saw in my inbox a mail from a very unexpected sender. The mail was from Papa Mike. He sent me a dovercard with some thoughtful notes in it.

It is exactly 2 years 2 months and a day since I last saw him. As an unspoken law, when you break up with your boyfriend, even though how close you are to his family, you should keep your distance because they have a daughter-in-law to deal with. Anyway, I kept my distance as promised. I don’t want to cause any trouble or cause the wifey anxiety. I know how to love a man and I know how to get jealous. It feels really awful. So that’s it!

I am living my life with my dad as a phonepal. He haven’t stayed with us since I was five. He comes home once every two years for two weeks. It’s kinda neat considering that my parents are separated. Alot of times I feel blessed because even though I came from a broken family, I belonged to a “family” and I have memories. Even though my mom and dad are separated, my dad still keeps in touch, supports us, and visits us once in a while. More so, even though I have a broken family, there are people who cared for me unconditionally, like Papa Mike, despite the fact that the ex-boyfriend and I are not together anymore. And most importantly, my beloved’s dad, Tito Jojo, is soooooo kind and very warm.

To my Father in heaven I give all the thanks and praises.

Cheers!
