And then there are blogs that affects you, (in this case because of my personal connection to him), and there are posts that stirred up emotions in you. But when a man writes about love, especially if it points to a special someone, it melts your heart, no matter how decided you were on some things,it just changes how you think of how men really are. For someone who got hurt many times in the past, I already had a biased judgement of how men are all alike in their ways and how shallow their feelings can be.(Sorry.)
BUT, I was wrong. I admit, I judged too quickly. But can you blame me after everything that’s happened to me? Something I read inspired me to write this blog, gave me a fresh perspective on some things that I have already decided to better leave it be. Reading through his blog, I get to know him more personally, more than I knew him when the connection we had was still present.
That blog belongs to my late cousin’s husband. When my cousin died, I know he was the one most hurt. As I read through his blog, there were two special women in it, my cousin May and his new love. When we first learned that he found love in another woman’s arms barely 40 days after her burial, we got hurt. Doubts, questions, anger, so many emotions. I remember his answer to all those doubts we had, he said something like ” does it matter how many days, or how many years should I grieve for her?”, stressing out that he did loved her so much and that even her death cannot erase that fact.
For the past years, I could not really comprehend what he was trying to explain and I could not agree. But we saw how happy he and the kids have become with their new family. And we know that May couldn’t be more happier than to see her loved-ones happy. I know that they will never forget her. And that this declaration of love in his blog is what I can hold on to believe that May’s memory will live on in their hearts.
God works in mysterious ways to bring people together. Sometimes, rather painful for some of us to bear. May’s life story has ended when God decided to bring her home, and so is May and Angel’s love story. But Angel and the kids’ life story is still unfolding, and that’s what’s important now, the present.
Here’s an excerpt from his post.
