Moving on


Yesterday, we visited Lani at her house in Olsbach. She just returned from her 7 weeks vacation in the Philippines. Last October, Klaus, her husband, died of lung cancer. I can still remember how her world collapsed on the day her husband of ten years died. Death is a part of life and its like a thief in the night. Nobody is spared in this direction regardless of age, gender, race and state of health. We are only humans who suffered the burden and pain of losing a loved one. Life is full of uncertainties and there's no guarantee for everything.Back to Lani, i can feel that the pain in her heart is not as raw and heavy as before. She can now smile and even exchanged jokes at us. She had no choice, she had to move on and accept the realities of life.

With 7-hour difference, its already February 4 in the Philippines. Today marked the birth anniversary of my beloved mother. She died two years ago and it took me some time to move on from healing to renewal. Losing a mother is an ultimate tragedy that can ever happen to all of us. I've got to realize that our life on earth is just temporary and that eternal life is in heaven. I will just cherished the good memories we shared together. Nay, wherever you are, we love you very much and you will always be in our hearts forever.
