I had my cuzin prepared/cooked a lot of food - including an order of lechon from manga - when last minute my sister called to invite us for her son's 1st birthday. Sus, klaro na jud walay famil mo attend sa along arrival party... so we decided to bring our lechon, inatayan and dinuguan to my sister's house.
We ordered a 2nd lechon last friday thinking we're doing my arrival party the next day when suddenly my cuzin came to invite us for my aunt's 11th death anniversary. Toinks! We end up bringing our newly ordered lechon to Catigbian where my 2 cousin priests said a memorial mass at the Catigbian cemetery for my aunt, grandparents and deceased relatives. We had fun at the reception with so much good food, singing and bahalina (siete biernes).
So by Friday night I decided to just invite my bradix (Puppies friends) and 6 of them came. They ate all the food we prepared the day before, had a few drinks and talked and laughed til the break of the next day. They all went home at 5am the next day.
I told them hello for you and yes they still remember the last time you joined us 2 years ago. Brydon kept making hand signal as if drawing your beard hahaha.
Hahaha! I just got home from attending Holy Mass at 4:30 pm diri sa Chicago. The sermon today dealt with the importance of trusting in God's Word and the Will of God for the union of man and woman. Our parish priest, Fr. Daniel, offered a very insightful and inspirational message on looking and praying for God's continued guidance in finding the right partner, and if one finds that partner, to be loving to that individual. Fr. Daniel also reiterated the importance of the sanctity of friendship , which if fostered through faith, hope and love, can be bear good fruit. I was thinking thoroughly about my mother, my father, my sister, my brothers, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and all my relatives and friends there in the Philippines. Truly, it is good to pray for all our loved ones, friends and family.
When I came back to my apartment, I had a sense of gratitude for God's blessings in my life, as well as for His guidance in in the setbacks that I have experienced thus far. The lesson we learn from our mistakes instills in us a deep sense of appreciation for these experiences, afterall, all experiences is a lesson in life.
After I opened Tubag Bohol and read your posting of how you had met up with your sister, her child, mingled with your dear friends, Da Puppies, as well as your other relatives and friends, I could not help but feel a deep sense of happiness and tranquility in your joy. You have been through so much these past months with hospital visits, and i must say that i was worried for you during these times. I am so happy to hear that you're doing well, Thanks be to Our Lord Jesus Christ who is rich in Mercy, and enjoying all the joys of friend and family. Tho I was not there with you guys eating and laughing with you, know that I am there in spirit. I can already imagine the sound of your voice , and the voices of Dr. Brydon, and Mr. Tirol and all your friends ; and the songs sung. Maka hinomdom ko ninyo tanan and ma lipay pod ko. Thanks for making me smile, Fr. Roel.
I hope you're doing well, enjoying all the comforts of home and family. Please show some pictures of your vacation diri ha.
With Love,
Always,
Bran
