So Hard…

Loading

A text from my hubby just came in lately. He informed me that he will not be able to come home on my birthday. The news really saddens me and made me cry. I have wanted to see him for so long. Even though we have a very rocky marriage, my love for him is stronger as ever. Well, he said that maybe around the 29th he would be allowed by their management to take a leave since he holds a lot of responsibilities at the plant but that doesn’t guarantee that he will be here.
Anyway, as my birthday approaches, instead of being happy I have been feeling so down. All heartaches have gone my way especially my husband’s not coming home and CC over dues, sometimes I thought if I could still carry it anymore. I felt that I am already in the verge of giving up all the things I have hoped for.Sometimes the easiest and simple ambitions are the ones that are really hard to achieve. I am not after any materialistic items. I am contented with the tangible things that I have. The only thing that I really desired is a happy marriage and a happy family. That’s my wish and that’s what I longed for. No more. No less. Why is it really hard to achieve??

    hi ruby! hang on there. i know how difficult it is to be in your shoes but just think how your kids inspire you to be strongest person you can be.
    di ba our kids give us reason to be stronger and optimistic than we really are?

    hey mommy… i hope you get to see your hubby on your bday… sometimes its really hard to get all the things that we want but hang on, I’m sure everything should be alright… i remember when i just got married my husband’s company was going to move him to another state for work, and he didnt want to do it because he will be gone all the time and we don’t want that. it’s really hard to be away from your other half…

    hey can you not move to where he is right now? just a question..

  • Mommy Ruby

    alam niyo guys! i really do appreciate all the comments. the effort itself makes me feel happy inside.

    i am praying that someday. God will allow a complete family for me. maybe not perfect but happy!


    @ kat, thanks for the hug!

    @ mommy xee, happy birthday in advance. pareho pala tayo july.

    @ mommy z’riz, yeah…that’s something i am thankful. surely they will make me smile on that day.

    @ mommy hailey, your so true mommy…they kids really make us stronger than we think. minsan, mas optimistic sila and they can touch us inside.

    @ mommy vhiel, we did have a rocky marriage that is why we went back here at my parent’s place but still i missed him so dearly.

    @ zexx, i am happy din na napaka supportive ng mga friends ko online. ajah!!

    Hi,

    hey, don’t loose hope! remember you still have your children. your hubby may not be able to be with you on your special day, but that doesn’t mean that the world should stop revolving. you are the only hope your kids have and don’t let them down by seeing you so sad.

    cheer up! there are still a lot of things to be thankful for!

    take care always!
