I would like to share with you a short essay/article written by a good friend of mine. It talks about physical and emotional pain and how to get over it. I hope you get inspired by her story.

A Broken Bone and A Broken Heart

by e R L y

I’ve had my bone broken. And it was so painful. I got bumped by a car and the next thing I knew I was inside the car of a stranger and my ankle is really aching. I don’t know what happened next because I was unconscious due to so much pain. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the Emergency room but the pain on my left ankle did not fade.

And that was when the doctor came in holding the X-ray result. A bone on my left ankle was cracked and dislocated. And that is where the pain is coming. I hardly slept that night because of all the worries and the pain that I had. What if I cannot walk again was the first thing that came out of my mind. Every hour, I am complaining of the pain. And my sister couldn’t do anything. I just have to wait for the operation.

I wish the same thing happens when you have a broken heart. That you will endure the pain overnight until the doctors come for the operation and everything will be taken care of. Anesthesia will make you feel numb so that you can not feel the pain as the surgeon cuts your skin and gives remedy to the broken heart. After the operation, nurses will give you pain reliever and you can now sleep and relax.

It’s Hearts’ Day once again, and I’m sure that most of the people around the world tried to FREE this day so they can spend some time to their loved ones. I did try, although I know I can’t.

It’s been a tradition around the world, but I wonder… It’s not the only day when you can show LOVE to anyone. Everyday must be a day for love. But why do people seem to express love only when on valentines? Well, I hope they are just being more expressive than normal days.

Nuf of that!

I myself don’t have any gifts for my wife today. I checked every online flower shops I can and the earliest day they can deliver is tomorrow. I must have been really late to place my orders. I never knew. I’ll still find a way.

What could be the sweetest? Bouquet? 3 roses? Half-dozen roses? A dozen roses? Or a single long-stemmed rose? Shall I add bear hugs? Chocolates? Could a pet make it so special? A cat? She loves cats… before. A dog? She won’t like it. Not even if it comes with a dog litter box.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Reminds me of the text-mate I met for a valentine date last year.

How I met my husband.  Last time I shared with you my prayer for the Man of my Life. I prayed this every night. Now, I’ll tell you how I met him.  October 2003, after months of job hunting, I finally landed my dream job; (I also prayed for this job). or shall I say the Job, it’s actually the job that I prayed for. Hey! Come to think of it, when I got the job, I got my man as well.  He and I were part of the same start group. And the rest as they say, is history.

How I prayed for my husband

I remember how as a young girl, I would wish on a star that someday I may meet the man of my dreams, my prince charming. And of all the good characteristics that I could wish my prince to have, only 2 things mattered; that he is handsome and kind-hearted.

Years later, I fell in love. Went broken-hearted then fell in love again. Went broken-hearted AGAIN then fell… Oh, you know the cycle.

The relationships I had before I met my husband were of weak foundation. Those were years of on and off tango with uncertainty; of good and bad times; of hoping and some more hoping. Each relationship, I would hope that the guy would be the one.
