Thankful Delilah

I loved being 22. A lot of things happened worthy of the Greeks when I was 22.

Then again...

Life, no matter what, has to move on - always.

Here's a confession: I am always afraid of the uncertainty and of what lies ahead but the many earthly angels that I am blessed with - I become bold hearted.

I hate to sound so bathetic but let me thank my earthly angels for their never ceasing efforts in making earth more bearable for me. Ha ha.

I am thankful for my parents who despite of the "inconveniences", made a lot of effort to be the best parents that they can be. They many not be perfect but their inexplicable love for their kids is really something else. They who does not quite meddle with my affairs, who never talked down on people just because, who allow me to be the person that I am, who let me commit mistakes and learn from them, who demanded greatness from all their kids, who taught me that material things and physical aspects won't do my soul any good and they taught me to love whole heartedly.

I am thankful for my siblings, for always making me laugh and think the hardest. My siblings as young as they may seem - are the oldest bunch of "kids" I know.

I am thankful for my friends (from school, work and elsewhere) for they never fail to light my spark. I am in touched with my childhood and still growing up to become that person we're meant to be.

I am thankful for the kids, for they constantly remind me that God is not yet done with the world.

I am thankful for Elijah(s), for he (they) helped me to focus more on what is essential.

I am thankful for those who caused me so much pain, for I have proven that God is always with the broken hearted.

I am thankful for my Hon, who brought me to a place where there's no I or him - only us. My relationship with him is really different from the rest for he brings out the best and the worst in me. I love him like no one else because I know him like no one else.
