It’s been thirty-six days since I’ve been here in Västerås, but the best thing is I’m not yet homesick. Wanna know why? It’s because of the acceptance this place given to me. I am not a Swedish, yet you treat me as best as your family. It was a very nice feeling being with every one of you, even if it’s in personal time or serious time (or let’s say working time at parish).
It fills the incompleteness of my heart being apart from my family in Philippines. For everything, thank you so much. For Mrs. Elisabeth’s delicious dishes and meals offered to us every breakfast, fika, lunch and dinner at Granberg’s house, thank you so much. For Mr. Bengt’s engineering knowledge and historical things he shared to us, thank you. For the nights of movies and goodies with David and Elin at Thorgren’s house, I enjoyed it so much, thank you guys. For Mr.Michael’s programming topics, engineering pens, Thorgren’s Pizza and for familjen2.0, thank you so much. For Mrs. Maria’s dancing skills like the UP, UP, UP, UP and beautiful experiences with the wonderful family of yours, thank you so much, you’ve been a very joyful and lovely mother to us. For Inga Lena’s handcraft things, thank you. For Stina who brought us to nursing home and a place where they took care of cancer patients just like my dad, thank you fast walking priest. That means a lot to me. To my bestfriend Lena, I’ll be missing our cooking and baking moments, thank you so much for sharing things with me. To Carita whom been patient enough with my little naughtiness (uhmmmn I’m not naughty, I just tease you sometimes to make you smile and laugh, I’ll be missing it), well thank you so much for being a good supervisor, for translating every time we don’t understand things that’s been happening, one more, for the blueberry/ raspberry cake, you let it replace the strawberry cheesecake as the best sweet I ever ate as of now in Sweden. To cute Alvin whom really nice every time he says what he wants like PICKS!!! Errr. Thank you. To Magnus’ ideas were Carita should bring us and for the Marabou and Pringles, thank you so much. To my SEXIEST, beautiful and kind supervisor whom always laughing and eating goodies with me, thank you Mia, I’ll be missing working and having fun with you. To Önsta Gryta Forsamling and whole Diocese of Västerås, thank you so much for accepting us and making us feel that we are welcomed in your place. For every knowledge, learnings, experiences, and loved you gave to us, I’ll be happy to bring it home and proudly tell everyone how nice I spend my days in Västerås.
GOOD BYE doesn’t mean “LETTING GO”, it means so much good things happen, but it’s time to say bye for now. Furthermore we don’t know what God’s plans for everyone. Maybe we will see each other again or maybe not anymore, but what’s best is we’ve been part of each other’s life and full at least one page of our lives’ book of experience. As I say GOOD BYE, I pray for everybody’s peaceful and joyful life. God bless us all and thank you so much.
