My mama returned to the dust. It was all pain but we divert this pain into valuable use.
"Suffering must have essence, else this particular suffering be useless". @surpassinggoogle
There was an entire learning process and i did make sure to learn!
We will keep my mum alive by touching lives positively, on and on and on.
Her grave wasn't 6 ft deep. It wasn't deep at all. She is on the surface; deep inside my heart. I love and love and love her.
Will love her each day, on and on and on
Steemians helped."Family!!!"
I have so much gratitude to express towards many steemians from Manila, who decided to visit me on the day of the burial. A number of steemians offered donations too and were persistent about doing so.
I didn't ask but steemians chose to love me.
They showed me selfless love and i didn't ask. It is proven because their own volition was very much involved and they persisted till i gave in and let them help.
"Receiving is an art".
I will have special gratitude towards them by means of my actions overtime. These acts of love where timely and really giant. It touched me and gave me some healing.
Even non-steemian visitors got touched by these acts and were keener on what steemit is about.
She Returned To Dust
My mum's burial happened successfully and according to plan. The whole endeavor had a nice flow to it. Some peace filled the air after all the turmoil leading up to my mum's passing away.
She was dressed and adorned to some dignity as she slept like a baby. We slowly reeled her into the ground, to the tune of a peaceful tune and we shed tears and let her return to the dust.
It's hard but we look to the happiest of times instead, in the nearest future; "in paradise".
Steemit Helps!
I will keep my mum alive even on steemit, with a repository containing every excerpt of her and every beautiful thought from people who shared her journey, we will gradually dent into this repository and her legacy will live on non-stop, to fix households and households yet unborn.
We will create awesomeness upon awesomeness.
My mum wanted to join steemit before her passing away and that will happen still.
I will be back stronger.
Her burial was successful. The bills got paid. Somehow, in the world, people seem to get valuabler at their demise.
Let's fix people when they are alive too.
This where steemit very much comes in. It makes "giving" a thing! Thus, i will be back stronger, to let "giving" hold sway even by means of me, with steemit; a major vehicle.
We will incessantly find new ways to give gifts and spread rewards, by touching as many lives as possible with positivity.
For now, i do a short holiday, with my sister who visited from Dubai.
My sister visited from Dubai. She helped matters and i got support. We had quarrels too cos though i afford you a laugh, i mourn in my inside still.
We are thus, doing slight recovery and very much my first real leisure-kind-of-outing outside Manila. Before she returns to Dubai on Saturday, we are visiting Boracay, to see the seas etc
When i return, i will be back stronger, here on steemit, to do huger magnitudes of life-touching.
Life is not that bad, if someone bears the yoke. I want to bear as much yoke on behalf of others as i humanly can.
Possible Steemit Events Soon
We have a steemit event in December 3 in Manila and i will try to be there. Then in Cebu on December 17, i am hoping to be there as well.
"Steemit is one solid way forward"; thus, i apply it as a tool to touch lives and i pronounce it and announce it, till you hear about it, for i care about you and i know steemit can help.
I will try to come around with newer drive as i sought to convert the sadness from losing my mum to valuable use. Her suffering must have essence. Thus, we will forge ahead and create beauty.
For the next two days before Saturday, i holiday just a bit. I want to try to afford a few laughs, resolve anew and come back refreshed and strong.
To every steemian, i am grateful. Your loving comments and donations helped matters a huge deal. And for the many who came all the way to visit me, "giant thanks!"
