I started my day getting mad and crying. I couldn’t help but scold my son again. My daughter and husband heard me raising my voice while speaking to my son over the phone.
Edmund said he only felt anger on the first day when we discovered what my son got himself into. But after that, he felt compassion for my son. He was taken advantaged of and he didn’t know how to extricate himself from the situation. He tried to solve it but of course it was too late. He was gullible and too trusting. This was an extremely painful and expensive lesson.
My husband told me I have a bad habit of keeping my phone beside my bed that’s why I bring to sleep stress and the first thing that I do is to read the messages then I get stressed out again. He said I should start my day happy and should look forward to a good day.
I came home last night super stressed out, angry and frustrated. I felt like something hot was coming out of my eyes. Para akong dragon. Then I felt feverish and in early morning, I woke up with a headache.
I went to my bathroom still feeling dreary. Then all of a sudden I saw three brown butterflies fluttering in front of my window. They moved to the trees then came back as if they really wanted me to notice them.
We Filipinos are mapamahiin. When we see butterflies, we think of our dead relatives. Yes, I did think of my Papa, Mama, and Kuya Ben. I said hi to them and then there was a bigger brown butterfly that appeared in front of the window. I wasn’t sure if it was one of the three but I thought, maybe that was my guardian angel.
Please make this day a good day Lord. Not just for me but for all the good people in the world.
