(Ronalie and first-born child, Stephanie)“Love is blind”. This could be the most common saying about love. But others would argue that love is not really blind, it is rather profound. It is not blind because a person in love sees something that other people cannot see.
True enough. Last February 14, when many were celebrating Valentine’s Day, I thought of my best friend, Ronalie. She is 32 years old and happily living with a 65-year-old retired engineer.
They have two children, Stephanie, three and 10-month-old Stephen. She was married before but that one didn’t work. She suffered too much from her first marriage, both physically and emotionally.
So when she found what she called her “forever love,” we were all suspicious and intrigued because of their age gap. Besides, Ronalie is pretty, charming, sexy and intelligent. She could have chosen a partner who is at the same age group.
I was not even thinking then that her relationship with this old man would last. But love has found its way to her heart. She told me that her prayers were heard. She was given a wonderful person, friend, confidant, lover and father to her children. Each time I see her, she would always say that she was blessed. And each day, she wakes up asking God to give her partner one day more in her side.
I am happy for her. I know that she has seen something more than what our eyes could see.
Just like us, Ronalie found her match. I believe that we were born destined to be with another person. The only question is when to meet the “chosen” one. For those who are still waiting, patience is the best. Life is like that. Sometimes you get your request first and sometimes you are heard last.
