the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical,
the kind of boy who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person.
Wait for the boy who will be your best friend,
the person who will drop everything to be with you
at anytime of the day no matter what the circumstances.
Wait for the boy who makes you smile like no other boy makes yous smile
and when he smiles you know he needs you.
Wait for the boy
who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in sweats and have no makeup on,
but appreciates it when you get all dolled up for him.
Wait for the one
that sees how abundant your flaws are & loves you for them.
The one that doesn't try to change you for who u are.
The one that makes you miss him every second
even when your right next to him.
That one that makes you feel warm, safe, and appreciated.
The one Most of all, wait for the who will put you at the center of his universe
because obviously he's at the center of yours.
d r e a m s
cant wait untill i can securely sleep in your arms and waking up seeing you'll still be there. while we are sleeping, the greatest dreams may occur.. the most precious moments may happen.. untill the nightmares come.. n when those hard times come.. i hope to wake up knowing you are there to make me feel safe. i have to sleep everyday.. n everyday good & bad things happen.. but at the end.. will you please hold me tighter and not let me go?
The Doll and the Rose
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a
Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have
enough money to buy this doll.'
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to
him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough
money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have
enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes
while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he
wished to give this doll to.
'It's the doll that my sister loved most and w anted
so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus
would bring it to her.'
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it
to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't
bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the
doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister
when she goes there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying this.
'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that
Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought
that she could take the doll with her to give it to my
sister.''
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy
to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until
I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he
was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my
picture with her so she won't forget me. '
'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave
me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my
little sister.'
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very
quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy.
'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have
enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some
of my money to his without him seeing and we started
to count it. There was enough for the doll and even
some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me
enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night
before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had
enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could
give It to my sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white
rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for
too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a
white rose.''
'My mommy loves white roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left
with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state
from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out
of my mind.
Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days
ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a
car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was
left in a critical state. The family had to decide
whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining
machine, because the young woman would not be able to
recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I
read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed
away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white
roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of
the young woman was exposed for people to see and make
last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in he r coffin, holding a beautiful
white rose in her hand with the photo of the little
boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had
been changed forever. The love that the little boy had
for his mother and his sister is still, to this day,
hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a
drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
I read this story several times already, and each time...it is still very touching.
then why should i?
hip hip hooray! finally! after 2 hours of wrapping i was done with ALL the presents, keke so proud of myself for doing that (eventhough it doesn`t look that nice but it`s ok) ;D anyways, i see hunny for almost everyday now, actually it is really everyday. ^^ so many sweet memories/moments, so many laughters, so many smiles, so many things we talked about...soooo great! well, "girl`s day out" with Vi & Caroline is cancel i guess. =/ maybe some other times, but there are other days that i`m looking forward to too! yikes! so excited! ^^ well, gotta go study for Greek unit Exam for AP English, latore everyone. `gnight
