Protect me from what I want

Sunday, January 15, 2012

I started 2011 losing my beloved grandfather and ended 2011 losing what I thought was the love of my life.

But I thank God for being with me through it all. He allowed things to happen so I could go back to Him. My heart still hurts but I'm recovering. I still think about him all the time but I know what God is going to give me will be a hundred times better. Sometimes our plans don't work out because God has better plans for us.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." This prayer he always recited casually ended up being my source of support. I still miss him and wish he is still by my side, but things happen and we don't always get what we want. I'm still learning to let go, slowly but surely. I know one day I'll look back and not feel pain or bitterness anymore.

The 2 years we had together wasn't the most perfect, but I loved you with all my heart and I never regretted a second of it. Thank you for the memories and I hope you'll be happy wherever you may be.
