Rainbow After The Rain

I long for the normalcy of my life to be back again. But beyond that, I long that my father stays strong through his illness. My days now are spent mostly at the hospital, working the phones and/or running around to find his medical needs. Try as I might, I can't help but worry about my father, its effect on my mother and my finances.

I strive to maintain a normal routine to keep my sanity. Some days I succeed and some days, helplessness and depression take its toll. With all these, I find solace in prayers.

On my way to the gym after work last month, I was feeling particularly gloomy. Things are not looking well and I could not help but feel like rolling around the ground in frustration. I could smell the aftereffect of the rain earlier that day and took a long breath to clear my foggy thoughts. Then, I saw this..



There were actually two of them but the second one was too light to get captured by my cellphone camera. Somehow, the rainbows lifted my spirit. I knew then that things will get better like a rainbow or two after the rain even if the present is not looking just as good as expected.
