A Christmas Promise

Okay. So I have celebrated my Christmas away from home. It's not the first time actually. I have spent my last two Christmases at Manila but being thousands of miles away at a two separate continents plus being in a country where Christmas is not celebrated is an entirely different thing. While I was at Manila, I was able to  be with my uncles and cousins, but here, I am with people I only knew for months.

I'm not throwing a big fuss in celebrating the holidays here. I mean, I was busy on the wards taking care of my patients and there is not much time to muse with the fact that I am not with my family. Besides, my family here are my colleagues. And my patients.

As long as I was able to call my family and boyfriend and greet them a Merry Christmas is enough for me. As long as I know that they are safe and they know that I love them and as long as they knew that the reason that I am not with them is because I want them to live a comfortable life will suffice my desire to be with them.

And I will fulfill my promise to be with them next Christmas and New Year.
