Most Bestesest Week of the Year, Part 2

What capped my vacation this first weekend of May was the SE 14 Retreat. Two weeks after and I'm still too high to actually start doing "serious" work. What I thought was just this typical retreat scenario that I have in mind has actually been a very meaningful and memorable activity for me. Sabi ko "hindi ako iiyak". Not that I'm not contented with my life. Not that I have grievances that I'm not over with. Not that I wear a mask I finally wanted to let go of.

I love my life despite misgivings and imperfections. And I acknowledge each and every one of it.

Pero umiyak ako.

My mom and sib's letters did it. On the last day pa! Funny since my mom's not used to writing a letter... it's literally "kinahig ng manok". And she knows it! Somewhere in the middle of the letter was something like "...pasensya na, alam mo namang hindi ako sanay mag sulat." Kaya para akong tanga. Tumatawa ako habang lumuluha. Hanggang ngayon, my eyes well up when I remember that. I'm just too sensitive when it comes to my mom. I extra love God for the gift of her.

Hindi sila nakapunta that Sunday. But I understand why. Oks lang. I have my dad Bozz Beef (Gelo) and my (ano nga ulit tawag mo dun Gelo: "kapanganay"?!? hahaha) whatever... si Lou. Thanks sa inyo.

Thanks goes to the entire sponsoring batch, SE13! And thanks mucho too to the entire Apostolate who've worked so hard for the meaningful weekend!

SE14 is Love. Madami pa kaming pagdadaanan and I want to see my faith with God grow alongside theirs.
