DREAM TO SHINE WITH LORETA PACIA ROGERO

Episode 14 LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND DARE TO SHARE YOUR DREAMS

21 May 2020, My brother-in-law passed away, gone too soon at 38, and I can’t be there for my sister and Family in the Philippines because I am in Singapore. His life was taken away by someone else! Mixed emotions …. 22 May is my mother’s 76th birthday but instead of celebrating her birthday, we are mourning, my sisters had to prepare for my brother-in-law’s funeral and burial. Cliff, left his wife and 3 children just like that! Death is really like a thief in the night you’ll never know when it will attack and no one is really ever prepared for it. How you lived your life?

Reflections:
How I lived my life?
What are the choices I make
I Could have spent more time talking to my brother-in-law …

Have I fulfilled my dream and purpose in this lifetime?

For OFWs, if something happen in the Philippines, all we could do is cry for our family, send financial support, and everything else is detached and heart breaking. It’s different to be by your family’s side to comfort them and be truly present with them.
When my father passed away many years ago due to heart attack and stroke, I couldn’t be there at his hospital bed-side it was my best friend Angie who put the cellphone near his ear and I spoke to my father over the phone hoping that he will still be able to hear my voice eventhough he was already in comma. We didn’t have a great father and daughter relationship after he came back for good to the Philippines from working as electrician in Saipan & Guam for 6 years. He can’t work overseas anymore due to enlargement of his heart. I was 12 yrs old that time. In the Philippines most of his projects are provincial so we seldom see him also. When he’s at home, he doesn’t like noise. Imagine watching a comedy show and he would stop us from laughing out loud. No wonder all my emotions are suppressed, my friends used to say that I have a tough expression, those who just met me, had this first impression that I’m snob or un-approachable, that I’m too quiet, etc. But of course after spending time with each other and once they get to know me, we definitely become long term friends and it’s very deep friendship.
KEY TAKE AWAYS
- forgiveness, letting go of excess baggages
- - SHARE YOUR DREAMS
- Don’t wait anymore for there might not be
