And I Kept Mum About It

This is the time of the year when I get too much affected not because this is the same time when you left the world and join God in heaven. I have always had trouble in getting used to it as this happens every year - same month, same feelings, same emotions outpouring as I lament over it.

When I was growing up, I seldom talked about you maybe because I don't get to see you often since you we're working miles away from home. I never had a chance building a good relationship with you and before I knew it you left us behind. I didn't have a clear picture of what was happening during our troubled years I was taught to just accept it without understanding what really happened.

Years passed, and you came back left with nothing but us. I somehow rejected the thought of you coming back into our lives but a part of me is happy to see you around. I just didn't realize it soon enough, well, I guess because I never told you what I should have said. No, I never told you I just held it in...

Life seem to be a bit unfair because I haven't had much of you being around while we we're trying to put back what we have left behind when suddenly He took you away for the second time, but this time - forever. All my hopes of building that connection between us had vanished. I was blown away by the thought of you not coming back anymore. I was caught off guard. I wasn't ready after all.

I terribly missed you, Dad. I chose not to speak what I have in mind, I refuse to express what my heart feels and I refrain from talking about you. I want it to stay that way and kept mum about it.

What's in it again?

I have been browsing the net the other night when I stumbled upon an ad about baby diapers and sign up their diaper CLUB to include me in their mailing list. I registered online and fill out my children's profile and there was a question about "my name was suggested by" and "what's the meaning of the name?" then it made me think, what's in it (baby name) again?

I remember I wrote it somewhere and so I started to look for their respective time capsule boxes (I'm preparing it when they turned 18/21) and here's what I have found:

5th of July

Finally, I got a new spot on the internet once again. I'm saying "once again" because this isn't my first time to blog, not my first blogsite either. I got so busy joggling my precious time between family and work not to mention that I also forgot my login in my previous blog :) I will be posting here anything that I can blab out and everything I care about.
