Her prayer

I was calling hubby tonight so we could all pray together before we all sleep. While I was contacting him, my Yuri kept silent and started to make the sign of the cross. I thought she was just joking as she would always prank us like what she was watching on youtube. I was not able to contact daddy and so I just told her to lead the prayer. She said, I'm done mommy. And I asked what's her prayer? I prayed that Tita Hazel, Tito Eger, Tita Beverly and Daddy can now come home and that the virus will be gone.

She allowed me to pray alone and while I was doing it in silence, I cannot help my tears to fall. It was a short, simple and sincere prayer from my Yuri and I could not help but ask God to grant her wish. She misses her dad so much and there are circumstances that hinders him from coming home.

After I prayed, she asked me what's my prayer. And I answered, that God may grant your prayer so that Titas, Tito and Daddy will be finally home. I immediately carried and hugged her just for her not to see my tears roll.

Tatay is slowly getting weak and my sister-in-law just had a collar-bone operation this month which made him do all the errands for them. My other sister-in-law who lives just besides our house also cannot go out until the end of the month because her husband have been tested positive with COVID. In short, he took care of 2 families that even if he wants to complain and say no. He left with no choice, he is the only person available and able.

Now, I am totally torn if i will go back to Manila, get my final pay and stay there for 1-2 months. I know that my mother and my siblings can take care of her but the pain of leaving her is just not easy to bear. I don't want her to feel being left alone, no parents beside her, to take care of her. It's really different when you as parent is the one taking care of her and checking what she needs, how she feels and just the mere fact that she can touch and feel you whenever she wants has a great impact on her.

Oh dear Lord, only You can make everything possible

I know I am not worthy to ask anything

I am flawed, I have my shortcomings, wrongdoings

But I pray dear Lord that my Yuri's prayer be granted

May all the hindrances be totally be okay

So that we may be reunited again as a family.

These I ask in Jesus name. Amen.
