Happy news

Today’s entry is probably one of the most specials… My best friends, my soul mate, my sister and one of the loves of my life is in labor. I’ll kill to be by her side right now, sharing this moment. I have told you about her multiple times… She got married 5 years ago and since then she’s been going thru so much… She has been suffering anxiety attacks and depression. I’m honored to say we fought that together. 

I remember when I first realized I needed professional help but was so scare to go to a consultation… I told her and I didn’t even asked her, she said she’ll pick me up from work. And so she did. We walked together to the doctors, we waited patiently, she held my hand and waited for me outside. She’s been every step of my recovery process.

One of her sources of pain and anxiety was having a baby. Today she is having a baby. All of her fears are gone; she is exited and can’t wait to see his little face. Neither can I. So far she is only 6 cms, epidural on and trying to get some rest. I didn’t call and I’m trying not to disturb every 5 minutes but it’s really hard. 

I pray for her and her baby to be Ok. I know they will be but just in case I made sure she understood I was by her side and that I loved her. It made us cry, but those are happy tears, well deserved ones if you ask me. These tears are a gift, they prove you can make it through anything. You can kick depression and anxiety if you keep fighting. As it turns out they’re weaker than what you thought.

Grateful for

Things I’m grateful for:

1.- Falling sleep every night with my husband’s arms around me.

2.- Having the best girlfriend in the worlds about to become a mother. I’m dying to meet baby-bean as she calls him and to see the extraordinary mum she’s going to be. She makes me proud for so many reasons.

3.- Knowing my mum is only a phone call away and also a plane ride away.

4.- Being able to seat by the sea during my lunch break.

5.- Work, an exciting one, and having an everyday purpose in life.

 

Good news!

I'm happy to share with you guys that I'll be driving in a few days!!! YEAHHH I passed!!! What's also very exciting is that the law firm called on my way back from the test. They set up a meeting when I expect to talk about money with them and conditions for hiring me. So after hearing this many great news you can imagine how I'm feeling... I'm so happy I could cry. But I won't no no no this time just I'll just smile, embrace the moment and enjoy this beautiful day. 

And tonight, I'll celebrate with my husband. Yeap, that's right, he's taking me on a date. The best possible date includes fries and burgers and that's what I'll get. Remember guys, to celebrate everything worth celebrating. We will bump into some pretty bad things in our life so it's good to load up some positive energy and let the happiness rule our day! Celebrate good moments means to stop for a few hours and think about it. 

But it will be after my much needed SIESTA.

MY Guardian Angel

My dad had few issues with money in life. During his last days he had to be extremely careful with his expenses but he manage to always support my family and he paid for my education, including three years of studies in Paris. 

A few months after he passed away I was trying to get my finances in order when my banker told me my dad had open a bank account for me a few years ago. I started to cry and the poor guy couldn't understand why, he thought he was giving me great news. At that moment I could only think about my father, making such a huge effort to make sure I had some financial stability. I realize then there are no limits to the love a father has for their kids.

As you know I don't make any money where I am and we are having a hard time dealing with a lot of expenses since we got married. A couple of weeks ago I receive a letter from a different bank informing me they were going to charge me for some account opened under my name. I didn't knew I had an account there so I went there and found out I had another surprise from my dad. 

My dad keeps taking care of me two years after he is gone. I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a guardian angel. I should be happy, I'm working on that. I'm just in shock for now and terribly missing him. I know at any moment I will burst into tears..
