Motherland. (THE PHILIPPINES)
My mother and I are embarking on a 19-hour flight to the Philippines. It’s a long journey filled with deep significance and purpose.
We’re currently at the airport, waiting to board, I plan to use this time productively by catching up on my blog writing and podcast planning, which will allow me to reflect and document my thoughts during this significant moment in my life.
This trip feels vastly different from all the other journeys I’ve taken before. There’s a weight to it that I can’t ignore. I feel anxious, yet I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do. Bringing my father’s ashes back to the motherland is not just a duty; it’s an act of love, honor, and remembrance. It’s a task that feels heavy and emotional, but it’s also a vital step in my journey toward healing and coming to terms with my grief.
I’m trying to prepare myself for the emotional roller coaster that will ensue on this trip. Returning home under these circumstances is bound to be challenging, but I will do my best to remain composed. This journey is more than just a physical one—it’s a spiritual and emotional path to find peace and closure.
I will be back, I promise. I will write all about my thoughts and experiences I had with this trip🤞
