I am truly thankful that #YolandaPH spared our area. My heart, though, weighs heavy with the thought of fellow Filipinos in the hardest hit areas whose homes and lives were savaged by the storm. My heart cries for my friends who have no news of their family from these places.
But life goes on. Yolanda has left. Today I actually did my laundry, taking advantage of the heat. In the afternoon, as a stand-in for my parents, I joined a group of Holy Land pilgrims for their reunion and merry-making here in Dumaguete.
Amid today’s happy get-together, I remember in prayer, our country and our people and call our strengths as Filipinos. Resilient. Vibrant. Alive.
