We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
- Just The Two of Us, Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr.

Plus the 2 years we were together before the accident.Who could have thought that the decade we are together would give us a rollercoaster of emotions, trials, and frustrations? Because our relationship has been through so much. Who could have thought that we had only been married for more than a decade? If I wrote our story and turned it into a novel, 100 chapters would not be enough, and maybe my readers would lose the desire to read it!As we celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary, let me say through this email some of the things I find hard to say in person.First, I am sorry.

*** INFINITY sadly looked at the closed door of the ICU. They say: that God doesn't give you a problem you can't overcome. She believes that. God knows that she is strong, and she can overcome this. But she is also praying that God could give challenges one at a time. Because if He gives it one after another, she's not sure if her heart can handle it. "Infinity, can you rest first? You haven’t slept even a blink!" the old lady said. She is Manang Carmen the person who cared for her husband from when he was still a toddler. She is considered his second mother. "I-I'm fine, Manang Carmen." "You are fine? You're too pale!" Her intonation got a decibel higher. When the old lady doesn’t have any response, she sets aside her cane and walks slowly to her side. "Have you eaten?" She gently asked. "I-I'm not hungry." She is trying her best to make her voice steady. She hasn't eaten all day but she doesn't feel hungry at all. “Infinity! You are stubborn! Do you think Elroy will be hap

It feels like a dagger is piercing her heart. "Is there something wrong with me? Tell me!” She demanded an explanation! Is he just going to throw away their 6 years of relationship? Is that it? “Nothing! There is nothing wrong with you, Camille! You are…you are a perfect partner everyone could ask for.” His eyes are also starting to get wet. "But she needs m-me." "What about me? Do you think…do you think I don't need you?” That broke him. He tried to reach her with both hands.

Maybe this is my way of coping with the pain of losing the most important person in my life. You. Today is Lyra and Sir Jhezz's wedding...second surprise wedding to be specific. In normal circumstances, I wouldn’t go. But I want to witness the happiest part of my friend's life. How can I say that a wedding is one of the happiest parts of life?

Because I got married to you. Oh! By the way, they are expecting to. I wish you saw how happy Sir J

Leaves will soon grow from the bareness of trees And all will be alright in time From waves overgrown come the calmness of seas And all will be alright in time Wounds of the past wll eventually heal And all will be alright in time ‘Cause all of this comes with a love that is real You never really love someone until you learn to forgive. - Leaves, Ben&Ben *** AN old lady can be seen leaning back in her bed, looking off into the distance. She seemed to be thinking deeply. Its wrinkled skin is the living evidence of resilience. A young man was seen sitting on a stool near her bed. While the old lady was looking into the distance, he was just staring at her. The man beside her had different emotions that you could see in his eyes.
