Wake Up, You'll Be Alright!

Papa woke me up this morning.

In my dream, i was sleeping in what seemed like a garden where from afar there is a silhouette of a two perfectly shaped mountain.

Between them the sun slowly appeared, very much like the way i drew them in my childhood.

Standing beside me, Papa was lovingly watching me as the sunshine slowly kissed me.

Leisurely, i opened my eyes to find the dorm flooded with sunlight, the room was quiet and my roomate has already left.

For a change i was not crying.

Today, I started my day with a smile in my heart. Thankful for the early morning visit from the one who truly loves me

That dream was an echo of my visit to him yesterday morning at the Hardin where from afar you can see Mt. Balagbag and another mountain.

Yesterday, it was me who was lovingly staring at his picture in his grave as i talk to him in my mind and in my heart.

Today, it was papa's turn speak to my heart. He whispered "you'll be alright".

And for the first time in months i really felt and believed that i will be alright!

Missing you always, Pa.
