I am too happy today to announce that I days ago I booked my round trip flight! It’s been months and weeks that I have been bothered about having the plan to go home yet I have not booked the ticket yet. Right now, it is all for real. One step closer to that day and I’m putting myself in that state of reality. Yes, I feel like all these are just part of a dream or a memory of the past. Mind you, this is the longest time I’ve been away from my baby. It will be a year this coming October 5th.

I was anxious enough to be over and done with the booking that somehow what I thought would not happen did happen. Good thing all those were just delays on the software they are using to book international flight from multiple servers. I thought it would be as fast as using a normal id card software but it wasn’t. I finally got this online issued itinerary of my flight after an hour of waiting.

I got to work 30 minutes late, hence you know I ran for my life to catch the bus. SERIOUSLY. And yes, nothing mattered to me most on that day than having that ticket done. I did not care at all nor even felt bad about being late. I didn’t care if everything else failed. I was working like my brain was somewhere else. But everyone knew, everyone could attest at work that I am determined to do whatever just to be with my family once again. I thank God for these bittersweet days left before I go airborne again. It has all been a journey that put a lot of sense in me.  A lot of courage, patience, sacrifice. And I know I deserve all there is. It will soon pay off.
