my last dangerous game of solitaire

the sacrifice the 19-year old made delivered the results today.

and 14-year old memories came unbidden

1. kalachuchis swiped from the neighbor's tree
2. dancing in zu (gaaak, when disco was still hot)
3. coming home early from the US to see me off to bontoc
4. a green ribbon during the SEA games
5. exchanged braids
6. silver ID bracelet and matching college rings
7. lunches at makati sports club
8. luneta, world youth day 1995
9. once on this island
10. a&w rootbeer floats

the 33-year old is amazed at the ability of the 19-year's heart to love beyond what a heart is capable of loving.

at 19, she gave him what he wanted, because it meant the world to him.
and she wanted this day to happen, because he wanted this day to happen.

there you go, God. he's all yours.
he loves me, but he loves You more.
