I am going home soon and there are several things to do before I leave. I have a boxful of things to bring home to Manila— clothes, bed quilt, bedsheets, etc.   I will assemble another box because  I want to buy some ready made curtains from JC Penny for our cottage house.

I’ve been having mild migraine intermittently in the past week.   And I feel slow and yesterday,  I was feeling a little melancholic.  Could be hormonal maybe.

I was restless last night.   At 2 in the morning, I was doing laundry and picking up lint from the carpet.  Walking back and forth to clean.

I couldn’t sleep.   I imagined that God gave me superpowers for one day to do anything I wanted.  Then I started enumerating the things that I would do

  1. Repair the ozone layer
  2. clean the bodies of water— ocean, rivers, lakes, etc.
  3. clean the air
  4. replenish the forests with full-grown trees
  5. Convert the terrorists into peace-loving persons
  6. Turn shabu into pancake mix
  7. Turn whatever illegal drugs into multi-vitamins
  8. Stop war
  9. Make my waistline smaller

Before I reached number 10 I must have fallen asleep.

I removed the comforter because I was feeling warm.  My feet were exposed. I only partially covered my legs and body.   I was awakened when I felt someone touching my two feet.  I got scared and tried my best to wake up and open my eyes.  I saw my mom’s silhouette standing at the foot of our bed facing me. She was like crystal outlined in white.  She was smiling at me.  I said ma! ma! ma! Then she moved to the left side of my bed while I continued to call her ma! ma! I couldn’t believe that she was there visiting me.  So I kept saying ma! ma!.  I sat up and reached her while she spread her arms.  We hugged and I told her I was glad nagpakita sya sa akin at binisita nya ako. Her face was so clear,  she was smiling, then she disappeared.  I couldn’t believe what had just happened.  I tried to analyze if it was just a dream or it actually happened.   Whatever it was,  I thanked her for visiting me.

It was their wedding anniversary last January 18.  Before I fly to Manila I will visit their grave.   I miss papa and mama.  I really do.
