2013... What comes next... Everybody finds their place sooner or later...

Song: Sakura Nagishi
Sung by: Utada Hikaru

"Everybody finds love... in the end..."

I type today's blog under this song with also a few websites loading of videos from a very touching series of Thai Insurance Commercials. As I also found this song, the lyrics told me this important lesson in life:


Watching flowers just blossomed fall
“Too early, this year” you said,
In disappointment, regret
And you were beautiful

If you could see me now
I wonder what you would think
Me, living without you

Everybody finds love
In the end

If you could hear the newborn’s cry,
Sound and healthy
Ringing in the town you protected
I know you would be so pleased
The footsteps that continue after us

Everybody finds love
In the end

I can’t believe that I’ll never see you again
I haven’t told you anything yet
I haven’t told you anything yet

Watching flowers just blossomed fall
The trees stood by, helpless

However great the fear, I will not look away
If at the end of everything, there is love

I had found love before from someone dear to me and I want to make this year, something for her to be happy for me. And I am happy for her too. It's just that, all I know is that we were never meant to be.

Moving further to this year, I somehow understood a few important facts in life: to every great comfort, I would need to sacrifice something. As I talked with the wife regarding this, I think we both agreed, we have to let go of one of our comforts to reach our goal this year. We're planning to visit a place soon and finally see if this is our home to be. And I hope, we do find it this time. I'm taking the risk. And the risk is small but the results of the risk is big for both of us as it will comfort our lives greater. This comfort can come back later if God allows.

The year ends for me with the thoughts of what has happened to me this 2012, all the smiles and laughs, all the tears and pain I have seen and felt. Lost relatives, remembering the past, giving up friends. It's the cycle of life as it shows it. I pray to God sincerely that this year, I give my family what they ask so badly of me.

I'll try to add more details for this post hopefully tomorrow, I can detail all of my thoughts for 2012. Again, if you read this, thanks for listening. It's just a husband's hope.
