Green-Eyed Elegy
I think it was the scent of Cinnamon Apples that first greeted me when I entered the Hospice House in Blackshear Georgia, just the week before Christmas. Accustomed to being met with the more terse smells of a nursing home, I welcomed the change, however tinged it was by the circumstances of my arrival.

The Lost Memory Sticks. Top Story - October 2023.
At the weekend, my husband gave me three USB sticks which he had discovered in a desk drawer. I'm not sure what he was looking for on these. It might have just been curiosity as to what they held rather than a particular search. Either way, he announced that I may want to look at them.

OFW MOTHER'S SACRIFICE
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled among the lush rice paddies of the Philippines, lived a couple named Elena and Rodrigo. They were simple, hardworking people who shared a dream - to provide a better life for their two young children, Maria and Juan. But opportunities in their village were scarce, and the weight of their dreams pressed heavily upon their shoulders. So, with hearts full of hope and determination, Elena made the heart-wrenching decision to become an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) and seek employment in a distant land. Leaving her family behind, Elena embarked on a journey to a bustling city in the Middle East, where she found work as a domestic helper. It was a job that demanded long hours and hard labor, but she knew it was her ticket to a brighter future for Maria and Juan. Years passed, and Elena sent every hard-earned penny back home. Her children grew, but she missed countless birthdays, holidays, and important moments. However, the pain of separation was outweighed by the thought of their education, their health, and their dreams. In the quiet moments of the night, Elena would look at the photographs of her family, tears welling up in her eyes. She had missed so much - Maria's first steps, Juan's first day of school, and the countless nights when they needed their mother's comforting embrace. Back in the Philippines, Rodrigo took on the role of both mother and father. He worked tirelessly as a farmer, his hands calloused and his back bent, but he made sure Maria and Juan had everything they needed. He reminded them daily of their mother's love and sacrifice. Finally, after a decade of separation, Elena's dream came true. She returned home, her heart racing with anticipation. As she stepped off the plane, her eyes locked onto two young adults waiting at the airport gate - Maria and Juan, now grown and full of love and gratitude for their mother's sacrifice. In that tearful reunion, the years of separation melted away. The love between Elena, Rodrigo, Maria, and Juan was stronger than ever, and they realized that despite the pain of being apart, they had built a future together. The sacrifices of their OFW mother had allowed Maria and Juan to achieve their dreams, but the greatest gift of all was the love that had carried them through those difficult years. Now reunited as a family, Elena, Rodrigo, Maria, and Juan began a new chapter in their lives filled with hope and gratitude. Here's a glimpse into what their life could be like: Reconnecting and Bonding: The family spent precious time reconnecting and sharing stories. They laughed, cried, and reminisced about their time apart, strengthening the bond that had endured through the years. Education and Dreams: Thanks to Elena's sacrifices, Maria and Juan received a quality education. Maria pursued her dream of becoming a nurse, while Juan pursued a degree in engineering. They were both on the path to fulfilling their ambitions. Career Success: Maria found a job at a local hospital, and Juan secured a position at an engineering firm. Their careers were flourishing, and they were proud of their achievements. Homecoming and Comfort: Elena and Rodrigo decided to build a new, more comfortable home for their family. With their combined savings and the money Elena had sent home over the years, they created a warm and loving environment for everyone to enjoy. Community Involvement: Grateful for the support they had received, the family became active members of their community. They initiated programs to help other families with OFWs and shared their story of perseverance and love. Travel and Reconnecting with Extended Family: Now that Elena was back, the family had the opportunity to visit their extended relatives across the Philippines. They rekindled relationships and created lasting memories. Supporting Others: Elena and Rodrigo were passionate about supporting other OFWs and their families. They started a foundation to provide resources, guidance, and emotional support to those facing similar challenges. Family Traditions: The family cherished their time together, creating new traditions and rituals. Sunday dinners, holiday celebrations, and trips to their ancestral village became treasured moments. Continued Growth: Maria and Juan never forgot the sacrifices their parents made for them. They remained driven and committed to their own families in the future, ensuring that the cycle of love, sacrifice, and success continued. Their life was a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the unwavering bond of family. While the years of separation had been painful, they had ultimately led to a future filled with happiness, success, and a deep appreciation for the sacrifices that had made it all possible.

External Farewell-The emotion of loss
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the quiet cemetery. The air was still, heavy with the weight of sorrow. Sarah stood before a weathered headstone, her fingers tracing the engraved name - "Emily Turner." Tears welled up in her eyes as memories of her beloved sister flooded her mind. Emily had always been the light in Sarah's life. They shared secrets, dreams, and laughter that only sisters could understand. But now, Emily was gone, taken by an illness that had swept her away too soon. Sarah felt a deep void in her heart, an emptiness that seemed impossible to fill. As she knelt beside the grave, Sarah remembered the day they had buried Emily. It had been a gloomy, rain-soaked day, mirroring the darkness in her soul. Friends and family had gathered to say their final goodbyes, their faces etched with grief. The world had felt bleak, devoid of color, as if it too mourned the loss of such a vibrant soul.
