in the midst all of the chaos of packing all her stuff as they are moving into another house, she ran into her divorce papers and all other annulment documents. one of these papers was a written testimony from her best friend. it's been years since she took glance of those papers. nevermind the divorce and the annulment; but her friend's testimony brought tears to her eyes.
it was such a tearjerking tribute to her. her creative description not only touched her heart but touched her soul. in that written testimony, her friend alomost seemed to write her story: "a lady who got balls" is the best way to describe her. "she" was a everything rolled into one: a loving mother whose determination to give her child everthing is limitless, a hardworking individual trying to better herself each and every time whether it is her very demanding career or her busy studies, a selfless lover who gives it all when she loves, a concerned daughter and sibling whose love for her family continues despite all of it's dramas and challenges, above all, a true friend who fights for and with her friend no matter what the battle is.
reading that entry made her reevaluate herself. all these years passed by and yet, she feels as if she lost touched with that same person described in that musing. but reading her friend's entry brought her back to who she was: the strong one who is not going to back out on life's battles, the determined one who is ready to dream and achiever no matter how hard and how long it takes, the brave one who was ready to face the world no matter what the world throws at her, the martyr one who loves with all her heart and follows her heart regardless of what other people say.
after all the sun and storms, after all the tears and joys, after all the ups and downs of life's cycle, after all that she has been through: the ugly divorce, the dramas within family, her sacrifices to leave where she came from and to leave her lovedones there, her struggles to become someone....SHE'S STILL HERE....SURVIVING LIFE'S CHALLENGE one step at a time. she definitely made it through the rain.
