Oh how that bus fell in ways we cannot imagine... If she only knew. How do we explain an incident like that to a 1 year old? We cheered as we saw hostages being taken out of the bus alive. She cheered and clapped with us, not knowing how heartbreaking it is for us at the same time. How i wish can preserve this innocence of hers.
I was just in Hong Kong last week, and I had a great time working while enjoying the sites, sound and smell of Hong Kong. I kept a mental note of the new places I visited and where I'd like to bring Hailey and Elmer this December - that's where we'll celebrate Christmas, Hailey's birthday and New Year. I've been to Hong Kong 3 times already and I've always said that if I had the money, I'd like to live in Hong Kong. That is why it is so painful to watch what happened last Monday. So many whys and what ifs and what could've beens enter my mind all the time. That should've never happened.
If ever there is someone in Hong Kong who would be able to read this, please, in behalf of our country, I would like to apologize. No amount of apologies could probably take away the pain of losing one, let alone five of your countrymen. But I echo most of what Filipinos are saying now, this is an isolated case. None of us wanted it to end this way. We all prayed that this ends peacefully. Sadly it didn't. As a nation, we humbly ask for forgiveness.
I do hope that in time we will all put this behind us. It is going to be a long, long way, but I know in time we will get there.
