A day of days

The clock reads 9.11. It's still peaceful in my room where I'm writing this. Ennio Morricone music from the film Love Affair plays and the day outside is cool from the morning rain.

My mother passed me a letter written on the paper we bought together in Florence. My father was quiet as he went about his own duties. My brother is already at the church preparing the choir and getting his guys to ready everything else.

Somewhere Lin Kiat is waking and remembering what he has to do.

So many thoughts, my stomach in knots. I know my mind is getting worse when I start writing in verse!

This is what it feels like. Something beyond a thrill, yet calm somewhere in a small, private space within my soul. God is near. And all those whom we love, who've passed on, they too know what this day means.

I wish I could keep writing, but I have to wash my face now and do some push-ups to wake my muscles up!

Dear Vanessa

Congratulations!! Wishing you and Lin Kiat a beautiful blessed union!
P.s. Keep writing! I read quite regularly and am a closet fan of your blog and writing style. Hee hee.

Hmmm. If you're a closet fan, then why do you admit it? ;-)

Hi Queenie, thanks so much! And nice that you 'came out' - always good to know when someone else is reading.
