This is the question friends and relatives throw at me whenever they get the chance.
Just to avoid a lengthy tear-jerking conversation, I simply answer “YES”.
My heart is still broken into pieces with the passing of my dearest mother. I am still recovering from Covid-like FLU and my lower back is killing me that I wish Nanay brought me with her to her final destination. My mind is in turmoil with pressing matters I have to wrestle with. I am drowning in Credit Card debt for helping a very close friend who is now incapacitated to pay me back. My spirit is ailing I wonder if God has completely deserted me.
How could I possibly be OKAY?
With my remaining strength, I try my best to appear happy in front of Gio and Eia but when I am all alone, I get down on my knees and cry.
If there is a modern-day version of Job in the Holy Bible, that would most likely be me.
I tell myself “all these shall come to pass.” And pray that I don’t lose my Faith along the way.
I know we all have our own crosses to carry. Who am I to judge that God has given me more crosses than others?
How about you? Are you okay?
