ACCEPTANCE
It had been thirteen years
that i've been struggling from my doubts and fears
But I've lived. All years through.
Yet it's still not the same without YOU.
I'd say I'd PRETEND to survive
in a way it kept me hanging on
But I can't do this all my life
I know I had to be strong.
Acceptance is a lethal word
It cuts deeply in my veins
Give me courage Dear Lord
The truth always lies in pain..
Pretension is fleeting
Acceptance is a must
You are etched in my heart forever
But for now, I am still learning to adjust.
~in loving memory of my father, Ruben Camargo (March 23, 1995).
Tay,
it's been thirteen years since you've left us, but it felt as if it was just yesterday. Time really flies so fast. At least this year Nanay and I were able to visit you. We missed you very much you know. I missed you. I might not able to show it but i missed having you around. And i missed Kaelo too. and Tata and Inang. and KaTotok and KaAto.. i wish you guys were still here.. but that would be very selfish of me to ask, i know you guys are in a better place now. No regrets. No worries. No problems.
And just like what i told you in my letter last year, i am still struggling not only to become a better daughter to you and Nanay but more of becoming a better PERSON to everybody. I might not be perfect but i could say that i am a better person now than yesterday. Don't worry, 'tay, i will still try to be an even better person so you will be proud of me.
Your blacksheep (who else would be??),
MA. THERESA A. CAMARGO
