Hello! Kamusta na kayo? It's been 3 years since I've updated, hindi ba? I paused from writing simula nang mamatay ang mother ko in 2021 from cancer. I gave myself 2 years to grieve her properly. I was battling with GAD + Panic Attacks and I underwent medication. Something in me died when my father passed away in 2012 but I died when my mother went home with the Lord in 2021. For the next few years, I was like a zombie - just existing.
And this year... I am the one who is sick. I have reproductive problems and I underwent a major surgery back then. After 9 years, may nakitang new growth sa loob. I was admitted 2 weeks ago and the results were not good - with probability of 65.3% of malignancy. I will undergo surgery this week or probably next week. Hopefully, it will end well by God's grace.
Each one of us has our own stories to tell and hindi tayo magkakilala personally and yet we are bound by our love of writing and reading stories. I am so grateful to have met you dito sa mga kuwentong nagawa ko. I really had fun reading all of your comments and I apologize if hindi lahat na-replyan ko. One of my dreams is to finish all my unwritten chapters and publish some of my books. Makakarating din ako diyan. 99 pa ako mamatay lolz. I will post the picture of myself when I will hit 70 years old ha ha ha.
I have my own challenges to face in the next weeks. I know iba-iba tayo ng trials sa buhay kaya nga sa mga kuwento nalang tayo naghahanap ng escape (somehow) from the harshness of life's realities. Iba-iba din tayo ng beliefs in terms of spirituality (perhaps may mga non-religious din dito o mga hindi talaga naniniwala sa spiritualities), and iba-iba tayo ng paraan sa pag handle ng challenges. I pray that God will ease our burdens in this life, if not, I pray that He will give us more strength as we face these phases.
I thank you in advance sa mga prayers na ipapadala niyo for me. I will also pray for your prayers that may God hear us all.
I will update soon.
Love,
A. Arad
