THREE MORE MONTHS...
Today is November 30. We should be on our way home to Manila by now if we were not granted extension visas weeks before by the immigration office. Today, I would have been crying my eyes out. Today, my heart would have been so heavy or even breaking. Today, I would have felt like I could not breathe, that I died once more and would just wait to be with Ruther once more, to be able to function, to be able to love life and live life. When I think about today, I feel like I am very very lucky and very very blessed.
Three more months. It seems like such a short time. A little longer than a summer vacation, the length of a season, a quarter of a year. Three months. It may be short but I gladly receive it. Three months means spending Nikki's birthday here, having Christmas and New Year together, celebrating Ruther's birthday and just spending time as a family. Three months of togetherness. Three months of joy, of love, of celebration. I am glad I'm not on a plane home today. Yes, very very glad. I don't know what I have done in this universe to deserve this wonderful gift. Trivial it may be to some people, but for someone who values precious family moments, I am extremely - EXTREMELY - happy, nay, overjoyed that i will still be beside Ruther, that I would be taking care of him, loving him and making memories with him for three more months. If this is my early Christmas present, then i don't want anything else, anymore. This is enough. And i am forever grateful.
