...time is eternal but we are not....

""TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS... BUT TIME IS ETERNAL... WE ARE NOT.""

something I already know but now and again have to be reminded of... recently I was, once again, reminded -- this time by my brother, Kuya Benjie...

as I previously blogged - it took us (my brother and I) years to see each other again... somehow with him becoming a US Military man, and me finding myself going where the wind blows me -coupled with all the family dramas we have gone through - we really did not get to see each other for about 20 years... we were brought together again by my Dad's passing, a couple of years ago... then all was well once again...
(with our cousins at my Mom's province)...

well... almost... this I say because I have not spoken to my sister for a couple of Xmasses now... as it is with most families, now and again siblings have a falling out == as did my sister and I... My brother has been trying to talk me into letting bygones be bygones and talk to my sis... as he does not want us all to wait another TRAGEDY before we can be together again - the three of us, brothers and sister... and he reminds me of everything else that has been happening: my Mom's health and age; his own recent bout with health issues (MY MAIN CONCERN, at the moment); and all of us getting on in our years, basically... (the first three in the left are my brother, me and my sis -- this is when she first arrived in the US, and we picked her up... my Dad is at the very end)
WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO? Believe me, it is not even Pride that is holding me back.... if only life can be simpler - with a lot less family drama....
