Making Amends with People from the Past

So today was just an ordinary day for me. Or so I thought. I was having a full plate in the office when I suddenly got an invite over YM from someone I least expect to get it from. I admit that I was skeptical at first, wondering what's going on that I know nothing about. Because as far as I can recall, there's no reason for her to contact me at all. It immediately felt like there's something wrong, or maybe she just wanted to confront me or clarify things with me. And because I know deep inside me that I have buried the past, I have decided to accept the invite and find out for myself why could she be doing this.

Surprise caught me off-guard when we talked incessantly - just like how close friends would talk. It felt wrong but so right to be having that conversation with her. I felt light, and opening things up with her
seemed effortless on my part. If you know how ugly the things that happened in the past were, you wouldn't expect me to write this blog. I am talking now because I am still in awe of how God makes everything right and perfect in His right and perfect time.

Years have passed since our dustup, and I must admit that tons of things had happened. I'm happy to update her with what-what's and I appreciate it that she listens. She minds what I'm saying and that she actually understands me. That's unusual, if I may say. :-)

I never thought we'd get to this point where I'll be talking to her like we were friends since birth, but I'm glad it happened. She was more like a sister to me now, someone whom I know I can completely trust. She knows everything I've been through and constantly reminds me that she's happy I got thru with it. SHE GETS ME, and that's more than enough. It's that simple. I appreciate her sincerest efforts to patch things up with me and to reunite me with a friend whom I haven't talked to in ages.

I was reminded of how things are never hopeless, that broken relationships can be fixed, and that broken hearts can be made whole again - all in His perfect time. ;-)
