"The Family that Prays together, Stays together. "

I can't wait to blog this! And guess where I am writing this at 2:24 in the morning? Yeee, I'm writing through my BB Word To Go! Thanks myBB! Ow, this lets me enjoy what I have now and not to look for what I do not have—Laptop! Anyone who can give me one is very much appreciated!

Back to this, just last night, Mama cleaned her closet to give way to all of her other clothes. (TRIVIA: Among our family, she has the largest number of clothes! She really invests in buying clothes ever since she was a college student—that was what she's been telling us.)

And this is what she found!

This was my letter for her (them, for Papa too) when we were having our retreat back in 2006. Since then she kept this behind her clothes inside their closet for almost five years. This was what I've been telling you before.

The letter says: (Dated March 14, 2006; Tuesday)

Ma, Pa,

Hindi ko ito masabi ng harapan, pero ikaw lang ang ina ng buhay ko at naming magkakapatid. Oo, baduy ito, pero sa loob ng labing-anim na taon, ipinakita at pinaramdam ninyo na mahalaga ako sa buhay ninyo ni Papa. Sa bawat pawis at pagod na ginawa ninyo sa amin, Maraming, Maraming Salamat! Na kahit matigas ang ulo ko at nila ate, hindi month parin kami pinabayaan, lalung-lalo na tuwing magkakasakit ako. 

Nag-aaral akong mabuti para suklian lahat ng mga hirap ninyo sa amin. Pinapangako kong magtatapos ako sa pag-aaral at maipagmamalaki ninyo ako. Nagpapasalamat ako sa inyo ni Papa sa lahat ng mga ibinigay ninyo sa amin hindi lang sa mga materyal na bagay, kundi sa mga pagmamahal at pag-aaruga na ibinigay ninyo sa amin.

For Mama and Papa: Words are not enough to say how much we value your hardships to our family. We may be having our hard times for now, but surely, with God's help our family will be much tighter after all of this.

We must never give up. 

"The Family that Prays together, Stays together. "


Love,
