IN A BLINK OF AN EYE

It’s a boring Wednesday night. It is also, somehow, an emotional one. Thoughts are running in my head but I really can’t figure out what they are. Out of nowhere, I thought of my brother whom I really missed. We haven’t seen nor talked for a couple of years maybe because we are too busy with our own lives despite the fact that we are miles apart from each other. Yes, I am here in the corner of Davao City while he is somewhere in Middle East working for their future, for the future of my 2 nephews. I salute him for having the courage to work abroad. He is really a brother to look up to. Then suddenly, part of my heart touched me. I felt guilty for I haven’t bothered texting nor calling him for a long time now just to ask how he is and how’s life going there in the other corner of the earth. I still recall the moment he called me just to say “Always take good care of yourself especially now that you are far from us.”

That was also the moment he let me know that he’ll be going out of the country for work. Somehow it bothered me because he’ll be miles and oceans away from us but of course Lord is always at our side. I know, He will always take good care of the people I love most.

Well, it’s never too late to say what you feel, to let people know how much we miss and love them.

I just wish I can take him out of my mind and hug him for real. I want to let him know that I really miss him and I want to spend quality time with him. I wish he can be beside me right now. I wish I can do this just in a blink of an eye.

I miss you Kuya!
