At a time when I feel so alone and unsure of what
lies ahead, I remember these special people. Family, friends, acquaintances,
even passers by, in the inevitable journeys that I had trod with
closed eyes yet with an open heart. My fascinating voyages have taken me to
different places I never knew, my tired feet had rested in the smiles and the
laughter, the sweetness and the kindness, the tears and sorrows, and the
discoveries of people who had made my travels worth taking. Oftentimes I ask
" Will I ever see them again" or "Will I ever again set
foot in the lands where these souls and I have crossed paths"? It wasn't
all happy, but with all the learnings and experiences I had nurtured with
them, there were no time nor reason to regret my encounters with them. It's
true when they say, " Do your best, God will do the rest". And may I
say, I have done my best to choose the right people who would join in my
escapades, who would make my trip easier and who would make sure my
"ride" would be as enjoyable as I had hoped it to be. My life is
never perfect, in fact, it's even less than desirable, but beyond these
imperfections is a woman who may have been hurt and bruised, judged and
despised, questioned and ignored, yet a lady who had risen up with every storm
and every battle that Life had to throw at her. And if you, in these pictures,
and even those who are not here in the photos, but have in one way or another,
entrusted me with being a part of your lives, then I say " Thank
you", and if we shall ever cross paths again, then let me take another
photo, one that would remind us that we are sojourners in this one great
expedition called "LIFE"!
