Christmas in My Heart

Like the dry winter that makes my fingers numb and clumsy, I succumbed to a three day hiatus of blogging; hopeful that my appetite for musing might come back. There have been many reasons at hand. Like these past three days, I decided to get acquainted with my new equipment. Trying to capture some scenes on my way to work every early in the morning. Good because in some ways, it mend my nostalgia for home. My daughters would want me to come home for Christmas whenever we chatted on the Internet via the Yahoo Messenger.

In a few hours is the Christmas eve. The last season, I was back home vacationing. I remember the days when I held them in my arms to warm against the cold night of the season. And now, this part of the world is even more colder - and I have nobody to hold. Time passes by like minutes and in a few hours is, the Christmas eve.

I always never care if me and my wife only have the ordinary meal to put on the table during the Christmas evening, so long as we are together. What could be more special than this? No fancy decorations - just one small Christmas tree on the corner of that almost empty rented house of ours. But, I remember that day my wife was in the rattle for the Christmas dinner. She wanted it all best. She did make all the efforts to make things turn out warm that evening. After all, that was our first Christmas together as a family in a newly rented house. There was just me, my wife and the two small baby girls. I was just observing her; I felt sad nor happy. She was enjoying it. Few months before, she'd been bogging me about us moving out to another house.

That evening, this date, she weeped. We had a plan. I left after a few months for Dubai. So here I am looking all the possibilities and ways to entertain my self while maintaining the comfort by calling them almost everyday now. Hopeful and prayerful about everything in our lives in the days to come.
