“LET US” — a new year message

Let us turn the page
towards a new year
New hopes
New chances
New dreams

Let us move on
to better days
to better lives
to better opportunities

Let us all smile,
knowing that
things will get better

As we face a new dawn
Let us not forget
our mistakes
our failures
our disappointments

Let us learn
from these lessons
Let them change us
transform us
educate us
into becoming
better people
better individuals
better us

Let us remember
the people we lost
The people who gave us happiness
who shared with us
their laughter
their warmth and
their love

Let us remember
new friends
old friends
forgotten friends
May the friendship
never cease
never break
never be taken for granted

Let us remember family
The bond between
one another
The eternal love
for each other
Come what may

Let us celebrate
not only the new year
But also our lives
Let us live it
not only survive it
Let us face the new day
with a smile
with open arms
with open hearts

Let us not just welcome
the new year
with fireworks
or countdowns
or champagne

Let us welcome it
with a sense of wonder
a sense of excitement
a sense of hope

Let us meet the new year together
Let us face the beginning
of another wonderful journey

as friends
as family
as one

Happy New Year.

I don’t know what to say or think anymore…

We just got word from relatives back in the Philippines that my cousin and my aunt’s sister died from a house fire just 4 hours ago.

It’s already in the news:

First my uncle. Then my cousin. HIS DAUGHTER. Not even a month apart.

 

She was just 22.

 

 

As I write this, relatives are rushing to my aunt.

thank you.

I just want to thank everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. It has been a difficult three days for me and my family. I’m feeling a lot better now knowing that my uncle has gone to a place where he’s not going to feel pain anymore.

Regular blogging will resume within the next couple of days.

On behalf of the Bautista Family, I would like to once again send my sincere thanks.

Let’s all start smiling again. ^_^
