alone again, naturally

silence in the house. you can't hear anything but the sound of the computer keys. yes, i am alone but not lonely. not at all. this is so because i just had an overseas call from my husband, i chatted with my kids, biological or otherwise, talked with my eldest on the phone and kissed by my youngest. how could life be better than that?
my youngest came home just to eat and leave again to practice play for a school requirement. it is being written that being solitary means sad and secluded. . well, i beg to disagree because i am not. though it's a horrifying thought that your kids will leave you eventually when they raise their own family, i am not worried. they were given roots the moment they were born and i gave them wings as a gift. wings so they can spread and discover what life is in store for them. roots - so they will come back to where they came from.
i am lucky to have a husband who is a good father and provider. well my kids, they have different personalities but i can gauge their temperaments, and sad to say they can't beat mine. hahaha. the priviledge of being a mother. oops, i have a message its from girard to say hello and how i've been. see? who says that i am alone. another message now from bambi who is my inaanak sa kasal. he is in cebu working, and just texted to say hi. god, what a feeling i have right now. unexplainable!
i have a theory and i practice it. family is not about blood. it's about commitment. when you commit yourself to a certain individual and give love, then that is family. sure you will miss them when they go but as the rate it is going right now, i am confident they will come back in time and we will be in each others' arms again.
the title of my blog is from a song by the irish crooner gilbert o' sullivan in the 70's. it topped the us charts for weeks. the chorus goes like this - " it seems to me that there are more hearts broken in this world that can't be mended left unattended what do we do what do we do." well, if i could mend just one heart then i will be happy to oblige, but then i would not stop at one. i will try to love as much as i can so even in this small act of kindness towards another human being, will heal the problems the country is facing right now. it is suppose to be for the greater good. then maybe, maybe we will not be alone but one. . . . .
