Beyond Grateful Quotes Novels & Stories

Napalingon ako dito. "I am so glad and a very lucky man, father and a husband. I am too lucky to have you in my life, Klara. Sa'yo ko naranasan lahat-lahat. Maging masaya, makuntento, magmahal, mabigo, masaktan, mawasak, lumuha at umunawa. You are so rare and everything in this world. At nagiisa kang babaeng nakilala ko na puno ng katatagan. Even I hurt you, inunawa mo pa rin ang mga kamaliang nagawa ko. Damn, sweetheart, I am too lucky that God gave me such a complete package woman in my life. The reason's why I'm every day grateful and in love."

Napakurap ako bago nilunok yung pagkain. "Thank you?" I asked. "Thank you for what?" "For listening to me. Hindi ko akalain ma magaling ka palang makinig," he paused. "For all the people I knew, hindi ko akalaing ikaw pa. Kaya salamat." Isang pilit na ngiti lang ang tugon ko. I'm not so sure if he should be thankful to me. I've done something he shouldn't be thankful for.

Papa, nandito na po ako. "They deserve our thanks and gratitude, they deserve our warmest round of applause. Thank you so much.. you don't know how thankful I am to be with your sides... Thank you so much for including me in your college journey.. and this medal..." I held my medals and I lift it. "This is all for you.." Nagbuntong hininga ako ng maramdaman kong nanggigilid ang luha ko, I wiped it and I continue.

Sa lahat-lahat ng aking nagawa. I’m sorry for the times I ignored you. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I’m sorry for only talking to you when I need help. I am sorry I am not more grateful for your gifts. It seems all I can see is what I am lacking. I am sorry for not giving you thanks every day. Sure, some days are hard. Some days I feel like there is no light. But I have a roof over my head, a family that loves me, and food on my table. I’m so blessed, and I am sorry for not realizing that enough.

I expressed my gratitude as we finished eating, the warmth of appreciation lingering in the air. "For what?" he inquired curiously, his eyes reflecting a genuine interest in my response. "For taking care of me everyday and for not getting tired even when I don't have enough time for you," I confessed sincerely. The gratitude extended beyond the surface, acknowledging the depth of his commitment and the unwavering support he provided in the intricate dance of our lives.

"I would like to give thanks and high honor to our God in heaven on this wonderful night, especially for all the blessings he showered upon me, who always strengthens me, especially when I am weak. To God, all be the glory. " "Thank you to my very beautiful and kind-hearted best friends, who are always there for me no matter what. Thanks to my trusted staff and employees. I want all of you to be friends of mine. Please bear with me; don't you worry, I am not a terror." Nagtawanan ang mga naroron. "This night brought me a lot of surprises, and I thank you for all of the efforts you made. I don't have here a copy of a prepared speech because it was impromptu." I chuckled between my tears.

Kinagat niya ang ibabang-labi, pero binitiwan rin iyon para magsalita. "Salamat sa pain at pang-iiwan mo sa akin noon. Salamat sa mga ibinato mong mga pang-iinsulto sa mismong pagmumukha ko. Salamat sa pagpapahiya at pandidiri mo sa sakit ko. Salamat sa paulit-ulit mong pagtaboy sa akin. Salamat sa pagtulak mo sa akin sa putikan nang gabing maulan na 'yon. Salamat sa panloloko mo sa akin. S-Salamat sa iyo, napunta ako sa tamang tao..." Tumigil siya saglit para huminga at pakawalan ang matunog na mga hikbi. "I am extremely grateful to you, Sheids. Because of you, I have a wonderful child and a loving husband now..."

Sapat na layo lang para hindi niya marinig kung magsalita man ako ngayon. Hinawi ko ang ilang dahon na humaharang sa pangalan ng pinuntahan ko dito. "Nanghihinayang ako na hindi tayo nagkaroon ng pagkakataong mag-usap bago 'to sayo nangyari. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko rin alam kung magagalit ba ako o matutuwa. But I guess, I want to thank you instead. Kahit na naging kasabwat ka ng mga 'yon. You saved my life. Itinago mo ako sa kanila. Thank you, Lester." Huminga ako ng malalim para mapigilan ang lungkot na unti-unting bumabalot sa akin ngayon.

Mas pipiliin ko pang i-donate ang pera ko sa mga nangangailangan kaysa ibigay ‘yon sa sarili ko. I am not ungrateful for my life right now. I’m thankful, but sometimes I can’t help but think about the possibilities of my life if I wasn’t here. I mean—kung wala ba ‘ko dito, mararanasan ko pa rin ba ang mga naranasan ko noon?

He looked at me wordlessly before letting out a quiet chuckle. "Why do you keep loving and trusting people just because they showed you kindness?" "It's not called loyalty." "It's stupidity." Tiningnan ko siya nang diretso. Hindi ko na hahayaang may humusga pa sa akin. Alam ko ang ipinaglalaban ko. Hindi ko kasalanan kung bakit ako ganito. "I'm just... grateful." "Grateful?" "Isn't that just foolishness?" "You gave the money to their business instead of using it to save your mom."
