I met Jo again today. After almost a year. She left my place on May 6, 2007 and I haven’t seen her ever since. Until today.

It amazes me how far she has become now. She said she suffered for months after we were apart. In her own words, she saw no tomorrow. It made her feel that she had nothing left but herself flat on the ground. Her whole world was destroyed. She cried morning and night, day after day, week after week…

But God’s grace helped her to rise again. If I see her now, I think I was not wrong when I used to say that she is really going to be a good wife and mother. Because more than that, she is a woman of God. She is the epitome of the woman of Proverbs 31:30

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”

Jo, I think I’m going to be proud to one day stand in your wedding. As I used to promise you. Being the crybaby that I am, I think I’m going to cry. Definitely. But those will be tears of joy. I will be so happy for you.

And thanks for praying for me all this while. Thanks for not giving up on me.

I am here now.
