The Friendship of the Garmans

We love because HE first loved us. 1 John 4:19

 

My January blues is coming to its end. With it I’d like to share something I wrote in my journal 4 years ago about two special people in my dad’s life.

The Lucasis & The Garmans during my parents’ last trip to the US

____

I wrote this entry the day my dad’s best friends arrived in the Philippines from California to visit him in the hospital. This is papa smiling and laughing again.

Saying goodbye before their flight. I wonder if they both knew it would be their last time together.

This kind of love is what I someday would like to give to my friends. To be able to do this, one needs to hold on to its one perfect source.

We love because Christ first loved us.

Don’t be scared to cry, it’s ok not to be strong at this time. But just don’t give it all up. Hope will keep you running 🙂
