on jake's first night at work

… i did not sleep. My body was very tired and I knew that I need to get some rest because I have to go to work on the following day but my mind just kept on wandering. I was crying when he told me that he won’t go home until 6am. ouch! I even cooked dinner for him. but i understand perfectly. He phoned me to break a very good news. : ) just the simple statement, “honey, I got the job!”.

“huwaw! nice! so you’re on your way home right now?”.

“no, i need to stay here until 6am tomorrow, hon. I need to start my training tonight. I’m sorry.”

Just last year, he made a blog about me entering a new world… on that blog, he stated his fears of the changes and he recalled our happy moments at school. aw. that blog was full of emotion and I was deeply touched. but i never thought that one day, i’ll be doing mine about him getting in to the same world that I have penetrated a year ago… the real world.

that night seemed to be the longest night that i’ve ever experienced in my entire life. finally, the long wait is over. this morning, he came home with full of happiness and excitement. he narrated everything that happened yesterday and i found myself smiling because of the way he narrates his adventure before finally getting the job. i’m so proud of him.

on my way to work, my mind was busy calculating our time and planning the new set up. it was hard. most probably, there will be a lot of changes but I know we can make it. whew! as for now, i just need to keep in mind that everything we do today is for our future. that’s all.
