The Next Day

.

 We are taking things easy today. We exert effort to feed ourlives. With our loved ones, we talk about good things in life. Our son asks us as to where will he take his college? Would we send him to a private school? Our daughter on the other hand, while eating the food we have just borrowed from the neighbors, insists that someday she would be an architect.

With the bright future our kids have, at the back of our mind, we tell ourselves to double our effort to make their dreams come true.As a mother and father, the only thing we ask for to the heavenly God,is all good for our children.

By and by, the youngest child come with a plate of noodles and say " Mama and Papa, I left some noodles for you. I know, you haven't taken your dinner". Tears start to flow from our weary eyes. We love our children so much. Despite of being poor, we do not let the realities of our life limit our dreams for our children. We promise to ourselves, as parents, to make them better person someday.

As the moon shines above while the cold breeze, through the dilapidated  windows, embrace our bodies. But it's ok, our children would not feel it for we, as parents, will do anything to keep them warm. There is no better cloth than a hug with love.

With full of hopes to start life again for the next day, we all sleep well.

The next day...

Typhoon Sendong vanishes our dreams and hopes. Flashflood eradicates the future that would have been so bright for the twins and for the future doctor of Cagayan de Oro.

Let us help the victims of Typhoon Sendong. Every cent counts and more lives would probably extended. More hopes and dreams will be saved.
