Time in a Bottle

March 1, 2010 ♥Angel♥

I was sweeping the floor while singing to “Bleeding Love” which was being played in Myx. I heard a knock on the door. It was Rose Gell, my youngest sister. “Let’s go”, she said. I grabbed the white bag containing my clothes and my brown towel.

It was Monday and we were not able to go to the gym. We’re going to make up for it through swimming. We swam and played on the swimming pool with Roxanne, for two hours.

On our way home, something happened that made me realize that I am really growing old. With Franz sleeping on my lap while my sisters and I sang “Ikaw pa rin” by Juana, I caught a glimpse of the setting sun. The colors were mesmerizing. Then, just like in movies, it’s like something hit me. I looked at us – my son, my sisters, the sunset, our tired eyes but genuine smiles, the golden reflection of the sun on our shoulders, the music… I thought, “I hope I could freeze this moment and keep it in a bottle.” Rose Gell will graduate this month, Roxanne will go back to school. I wonder when would be the next time that we can have another moment like this. The only thing that’s constant in this world is “change”. Something tells me though, that my love for my sisters won’t.
