I chatted with my cousin in the Philippines tonight, for quite some time actually. It might have been the longest I've ever been in communication with her. Solely internet communication, specifically Facebook.
Chatting with her makes me feel so grateful. Her life is so simple, yet hard. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have what I do.
I really hope for the best for everyone there. They work so hard for the little they receive in return. Many times I wish I could magically make life easy for them like it is here in America.
Her politeness and manners many times makes me feel like a sailor. (I need to work on that within myself.)
She plans on moving to Florida at some point this year. Marrying someone who I don't necessarily approve of, but have no control over. I know he will give her a better life, but the situation still worries me. It must be an instinctual feeling.
I really hope the best for her and will continue to be in touch. I hope we will talk more as time progresses. I also hope to see her very soon.
