Christmas Awakening

December 25, 2006

 

Yesterday, I felt like the lady character in Paolo Coelho’s book, The Devil and Miss Prym. The devil and the angel were both influencing me to do the bad and the good thing. Most of the time, I felt like just staying in the dark, sulking in negativity and eating a lot of emo crap. But I guess, the good always triumphs coz as late as 8pm last night, I just suddenly decided to go to my folks to spend Christmas with them. I released all expectations, forgave past hurts and just went with the flow of tradition.  All of a sudden, I felt light. It’s amazing!

   

We arrived at my parents’ house in San Mateo Rizal   at around 10:30 p.m. I felt their longing and delight the moment I saw them. My mom kissed and hugged me and I almost choked in suppressed tears. They really thought  we’d never come home this Christmas. And then… as they say, the rest is history.

   

Basically, we spent time eating, drinking, talking, laughing, getting drunk and singing songs til the wee hours of the morning. And I really felt at peace and happy. Looking at my aging folks and my now adult brother and sister, I felt my purpose. I mean, I know for the longest time now that I am their provider but it just felt more real and heartfelt when I was with them. I think I just have to accept God’s plan for me and stop resisting my destiny. I then slept like a baby in Peter’s arms. I’ve never felt so at peace as I am now. And Peter can’t be any happier. After all, all he wanted this Christmas was for me to be happy. And I am. Happy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Hi Bernice! Thanks! :-) Yeah, you’re definitely right. I felt like a kid again when I went home this Christmas. Yun nga lang, we don’t do exchanging of gifts. Weird kasi talaga ang Adams family. May pagka-unconventional. Pero ok na rin.:-)
