What About Me? What About My Future?

During my interview with my grandparents, I was actually expecting long stories and of them in their glory days. But nope, no kwento. Anyway, as I can see, my grandparents are very much in love and what I believe is that they are in the stage of authentic love. I say this because of what my grandfather told me during the interview. He took care of my grandmother in her hour of need, when she broke her hip bone. This showed that he cared for her and he loved her because he did everything for her. He ran errands for her, he helped her take a bath, and a lot more. He really didn’t give up and he kept on working for her recovery. I believe they have lived a fruitful life and still ongoing one at that. They were able to support a family enough to see them go off into the world into their own and bear their own family. I am one of the evidence for that. I am not really sure at the moment but I believe that I would like to have the same strength and love my grandfather has for my lola, for my future wife. I want to be always there for my wife, through whatever hardships may come. Because I believe that a husband and wife are a team. Without one or if the team is in conflict, the family may fall. I want to have the ability to provide for my future family and raise them to be successful and to be all that they aspire to be. I want for them to be on top of the food chain, I want them to be popular, I want to be very proud of their achievements. I want to experience the feeling of authentic love for my future wife. I would like to receive the same feeling back. I want to be successful. I want a lot of stuff but I don’t know how I can acquire these or if I really can acquire them. Maybe, like my grandparents said about faith, maybe I just need more faith and trust in the Lord more that he has a grand plan for me. But do not get me wrong, I already do have faith and trust in the Lord. I may not be a practicing Catholic but I am a Catholic. So if you ever accuse me of not being Catholic, I say to you that you are very mistaken. This is because I thank the Lord for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me. My friends, my family, and my girlfriend, they are all a blessing from above. I may not be very showy about it but I do love my family and I appreciate everything they have done for me. To me, I believe that God set everything according to a plan and that everything happens for a reason. So I try my best to connect one event to another in my life, believing that this is all part of God’s plan, believing that this is all a test. I truly have faith in the Lord and I truly cherish all of his gifts. Even though at one point in my life I stopped believing in him, I questioned him, I philosophized, and more, I still came back to believing in him. But I know that I have to work hard to achieve what I am going to achieve. I won’t wait for miracles, I will create my own miracle. In the end, I just want to point out how great my grandparents are. Raising a family with five kids is no simple task. I hope that I would be half as dedicated and hardworking as my grandfather to my grandmother. That would show that I truly love my wife and my family at that.
