"Veil Of Love" by katha8 on FanStory.com

"Veil Of Love" by katha8 on FanStory.com

After being a bride on June 8, 1974, everything seems to flash before my eyes nearing our ruby anniversary on 2014. I seem to be nearing a tower that was brought to the ground by an earthquake during my maiden years. I remember that I felt the tremors that time but did not bother to be awakened from my slumber in my comfortable bed in Cubao. My mother recounted to me of many Chinese merchants and their family losing their lives in the Ruby Tower devastation in the Binondo area. It never brought me to the ground from my ivory tower built by my parents where I found safety and comfort.

Years passed staying in the ivory tower of the academic world that brought me failures and successes until I finally met a co-worker whom I finally married in my hometown after two years of being steady. He is a Filipino born citizen, in Catbalogan, Samar with both Chinese Mestizo parents and was educated with the Jesuits of Ateneo de Manila. We were blessed with an only son after one year who, luckily is still with us. We stayed with their family, both of us making a living, saving for a house of our own, until we built one on a lot we purchased and was able to transfer to in 1978.

Now that we are not in the best of health all I can pray for is that we will live long enough to be able to share our Ruby Anniversary with our son and friends...if not, be able to accept our journey's end in Jesus' name to hope for a place with the Father in Heaven.
