F.Y.I. pt. 2

Don't read this if you haven't read F.Y.I. Thanks!

Forever. Why do people keep on insisting that this is word is non-existent?

Is it because they were left by the person they truly love?

Is it because everyone starts to get bitter when it comes to the cheesiness and greatness of love?

Or is it because they think forever is a word full of plain hope?

Whatever the reason is, as people go along, they will meet the person meant for them with one reason.

And that is, true love.

True love can change a person. And a person can turn true love into forever.

We should never wait for our forever to come. It is always our will to build love into something we can cherish for a lifetime.

"Mommy!" I closed the book that I was reading. I faced my son, Damien, as he called out.

Kinalong ko siya at niyakap, "Yes little boy?" I sweetly asked. The 3 year old baby just wrapped his hands around my neck. So, naglalambing lang pala. "I love you baby." I said and kissed his cheeks.

Few hours later, our family car came. Everything's already settled kaya aakyatin ko na si Mama sa taas para magpaalam. "Damien, go straight to the car, okay? Wait for me there. I'll just check on Mamu." I said to Damien.

"Tell her I love her Mommy."

"I will. Mamu's gonna be alright. Don't worry."

I went upstairs, not bringing Damien with me. I don't want him to see Mama's situation this time. He's a curious little boy. He tends to ask so much questions and I'm avoiding some of it. Damien asked me one time, "Mommy, when will Mamu play with me again? Is she dying?"

That little innocent question didn't make me lie. "Mamu's fighting. Always pray for her, okay?"

I sat beside Mom's bed. "We're going. Take care Ma. Damien and I loves you." I smiled and hugged her.

Mom just nodded at me. She's weakly lying on her bed with machines connected to her body. Everytime na titingnan ko si Mama na nahihirapan, parang gusto kong sabihin sa kanya na palit nalang kami ng pwesto. She's been suffering for years and I hate myself for being useless.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako makaktulong. Kung paano ko siya mapapagaling. I also kept on asking myself why did I ended up as a Pediatrician. Kung alam ko lang edi sana...

"I'll call you soon as we landed on PH. Okay?" I said, while holding her hands tightly. "Mom, I love you."
