Blessed by the Storm

The Inception of this year has become a milestone of my life when a new wave finally disturbed the sand to reveal something. It was the first time that I ever occupied a room of a hospital. Bedridden and helpless caused by Dengue, there was nothing I can do but to stare at the corners of the haunted space. At that time, my parents were always at my side to take care of me. How can I forget everything they did? They look after me, provided what I need and want, fed me like a toddler, wakes up late night to help me go to the bathroom. I feel like a child again. Perhaps it was the time given to make some realizations because lately I’ve busy with my studies and taken for granted the things that count the most. I even forget to pray at night to thank Him that another day is extended for my existence. On the otherhand, the situation took the opportunity for my family to reunite since they were having conflicts last year. It was overwhelming to see them talking with each other again. Indeed, the days were heartwarming experience to look another perspective of life when you thought invincibility has taken your way. I was reminded how blessed I am when I kept on asking for more then. Although I didn’t have much to spend, I have got more than priceless.
