I had thought I was done with bad vibes or happenings. Hoping things would be better. Maybe 2019 will be better. I wrote about my neighbor who died and my cousin’s mother-in-law who died.
Today started out simple. I decided to count all my coins savings 5 peso and 10 peso coins. I wrote down monthly the amount I get and placed them in separate piggy banks per coins. I was supposed to have 2,370 pesos in 5 pesos. I was shocked when I got my piggy bank and it was kind of light. I taped the middle where you open it and it was loose. OMG there was only 830 pesos left. When I opened the 10 peso one it was also, light and the tape was loose. 1670 became only 840. I have no idea who. It is by my side and I rarely leave the house. If I leave my mom is here so who would go in and get? Teray knows I tape it and if it was her she would change the tape and make it look untouch. But she is always with me.
So I was sad, I was saving for my grandson’s birthday. So I was really sad instead of having at least 4000, I barely have half, only 1600. So I will deposit that as soon as I can, I have it kept. Even the small coin bank where I place the coins during the month before counting also has been stolen, there is less coins and no 10 peso coins. I don’t want to ask them. Just have to keep quiet and pray they will have a conscience or that the money they took was for a good reason. No use in making a scene.
Just when I thought that was the last of the bad news, we got another one. My long time helper or companions as I call them or actually they are like my family. Teray got bad news, her mother died just this morning. I was surprised because yesterday they went home and I gave them vitamins for her parents. Her eldest daughter spent Christmas with her grandparents. But early this morning she called saying her grandmother would not wake up. It was heartbreaking.
This was taken Christmas Eve. Teray is smiling behind my mom. Her eldest daughter is the only one missing because she spent it with her grandparents. I sent them some food same as what we had for our noche buena and I sent them Christmas gifts too.
My brothers have sent some financial aid. But it can not replace the emptiness. I hope she will stay with us longer and I hope we can fill the emptiness, it will take time I’m sure, but we will support her.
So this Year is ending with a big bad bang. I hope nothing else happens because there is still 4 more days.
Please Lord watch over all of us and guide us. Just grateful for the small things and even the painful things because it will make us stronger. What is also sad is that Teray’s uncle also died this year, her mom’s brother.
We just have to think positive and keep koving on, life must go on.
