September 12 and 13, 2022
Yesterday, I felt a gush of sadness and I started tearing up. “Na-miss ko nanaman aso ko.” I cried and cried in the car because I felt like I no longer miss him that much. I felt really bad and I think Robin understood and wanted to spend the afternoon at home instead of attending a conference f2f. On our way home, we passed by the church and I knew instantly that I needed to drop by. I remember the last time I lit a candle there was when I was begging for Rob’s life. And when Robs died, I took it as an unanswered prayer. A BIG NO from God. I was furious and I was very disappointed (kapal ko pala!Sorry Lord :(() at Him and the world. In my head, “huling andito ako di ako pinagbigyan ni Lord baka di niya ako pakinggan nanaman.” But keeping in mind the homily during the time we got Robs’ ashes, sabi ni Lord: He always answers our prayers. Always. It may sometimes be not what we prayed for but it will always be He wants for us. And the most important thing to do is to continue praying. Even when you feel like it was a NO, continue praying. So I did.
While I was holding my candles yesterday, I kept repeating in my head: “Just pray. Pray, pray, pray.” Today, I received what I prayed for the whole year. I may have experienced the greatest heartbreak I’ve had in years but now I truly believe that He listens and He answers all our prayers. All in His time. TYLJ. All that I have is from You and for You. <3
