Neil: Did you eat my taho?
Me: You werenโt eating it. It was in the fridge for two days. I waited 2 days, okay? I was patient! I was freaking patient!
Let him go.
Youโve got bigger things ahead: peace that stays, love thatโs real, stability you can lean on, and joy that doesnโt come in breadcrumbs.
He was a chapter, not the whole book.
And you? Youโre the storm that rewrites the ending.
โLet yourself cry for what you wanted.
Let yourself mourn what might never be.
But donโt you dare believe the lie that this is the best youโll ever get...โ
I went back, thinking I could fix what was broken. That I could learn to be okay with what I had. But a part of me still sees you walking toward meโฆ still wants to run to meet you.
I miss my dad! God really blessed me with the best father anyone could pray for. I am the parent that I am because of him. He inspires me to be selfless, and to put my family above everything else. I will never be half a parent he is but I hope I can be as close to as possible.
My dad left to retire to the Philippines for good and I didnโt realize how much his presence means to me. I feel so lost and lonely. No one would go in my room and check or randomly bring me food anymore. But Iโm happy he gets to finally live the life he has dreamed of.
He always tells me he dreamed of living in the province and close to nature where itโs peaceful and quiet, to raise his roosters. Iโm happy he brought his pet dog, Lucia with him. He has someone from here to accompany him there.
