Hopeful

 

So part of the internal struggle I've had this year had to do with almost the whole family contracting Covid-19. Yes!  It's what I called a 'dark period' in our lives, what with the worries and stress it brought us because Papa showed severe symptoms manifested by his low oxygen saturation levels and me developing symptoms, too.

But God is good, for He not only gave us our bigger family who assisted us with our needs, He also made Papa's body respond to the DIY home care that we crafted for him. And so after our respective isolation periods, we were given clearances and moved forward in life, more careful than before.

Then one by one, with the help of God-sent friends, my family got inoculated with vaccines. Ours happened yesterday, July 20th. I am thankful that it came earlier than the allocation I've been waiting for at work; that it happened with enough time for us to rest before reporting to work last night.

And for as long as the government and private sector continue their efforts of administering the vaccines, the future of Filipinos looks bright.
