Jasper: (check ko nga phone ko kung nag text na, yey! nag text na sya... anu kaya reaction nya?)

Text: ("Thanks for the card, Happy Valentine's Day.. :)")

Jasper: (text back: "Hope u lykd it, Happy Valentine's Day ulit..")

I sent a card to her, nothing cheesy or romantic written on the card, just a simple prayer for her.

Kinda sad, i was expecting a different reaction from her... But its ok, at least she acknowledged. I thanked God for her reaction and acknowledgment.

I miss her, wanted to tell her that i miss her this Valentine's Day, hoping that iam there to see her and personally giving her the card and siguro flowers na din... haaaayyy....

"Lord, help me to be patient and persistent in praying for her"
