Letter From An Immigrant

Dear you,

This day was heavy. Tears have been shed, goodbyes were delivered. Dreams need to be fulfilled, plans need to be acted upon. I leave with a strong mind, a willing heart and a brave soul. I travel a great distance, maybe in half or whole because I think a part of me stays where I orginally come from, the other or the new part perhaps, I still need to build. I wish to be strong in whatever challenges I will encounter, to remember and take my pride in my values and to set my self in humility, to be grateful in all the blessings I will receive. For the people that I dearly love and leave, I pray for you and you all will always be with me.

Dear Love,

The past few days have been hard. It was one of those life tests we encounter that might possibly break us. It was unexpected and we were unprepared for it. At this point, nothing is certain. This letter is about my gratitude to you. I can never tell you enough how thankful I am that you are here. You never left. There may be times that we stepped back but we always know that we are here for each other. We argue, we fought with opposing ideas. There were hurtful words, raw and direct. But at the end of the day, we are still here. We smile at each other. We laugh at silly things we think and see. We celebrate small daily blessings we have. I love you. I truly do. Thank you for giving me the true meaning of "togetherness". We are very blessed to have been given of what we have today. Us.
