A Prayer for You, Charice

Accompanying you with our love and prayers, Cha.
We know that soon, God will put back the smile in your heart.

Cha, you've always been consistent about acknowledging your father, thanking him and loving him, despite the painful things that had happened in your family in the past.

You said, "...we had a really great relationship bago nangyari lahat ng gulo (before the troubles happened)... I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all."

I admire you for that and said in a previous post that you have the sweetest, biggest heart - because despite the hurt you still feel, you find it in your heart to forgive.

You truly are an ideal daughter and God blesses you for that. I also continue to look up to your mother who has taught you not to live in bitter memories but to always look at the positive side of life.

During this difficult time for you, your mom and your brother, may you feel our love and support.

Here's a prayer for you, Cha:

May God give you strength to stand by your family and mourn by your father's side as you give your last goodbye.

May God give you peace to accept events and people that are simply beyond your power to change.

May God increase your faith in his plans for you: you have seen it before and I hope you continue seeing it - that when he allows pain to enter into your life, it's when he's closest to you and preparing you for bigger joys.

May you never forget, even when you go through your lowest and maybe even numbest moments, that God lovingly holds you and keeps you safe in the palm of his hand. Always.

And may God grant your father peace of soul.
