61 Days Left

Two months and a day. That is the number of days left for me until I leave my dear country. I have lived here for almost 34 years. I can't believe I will be leaving her so soon. I will surely miss a lot of stuffs. Most of all, the people around: my family, my friends, my neighbors, people in my Charismatic community, strangers.

Oh, the innocent smiles of the children is flashing at the back of my mind. These are the children in our neighborhood who run excitedly towards me the moment they get a sight of me and then kiss my hand (pagmamano/kissing the hands of elders). How can I forget them? They will forever be etched in my heart.

Tomorrow, another leaf falls from the 61 leaves.
