I walk into my parents' bedroom and I cry.
I'm gonna miss my family so much after I get married.
And it's not because I fear independence- what I fear is not being able to come back even just to visit.
When I was living in Dominica for four months at a time, it wasn't that difficult because I knew that I had a home, my family, to come back to.
Losing your family is so hard.
I realize and embrace the fact that Alana and I will be forming our own family, but there is such deep sadness when I think about the one I will lose.
My family.

Ro, dear brother, I have been praying for your situation for years, you & Alana have come a long way...I am sooo happy that you are getting married with the love of your life that GOD blesses you with..God is in absolute control, Ro, when you get married, you would form your own family yet it doesn't mean that God wants you to lose your parents' family. Stay in faith, brother, God will make a way to work things out for you.. Roman 8: 37 " Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. " You & Alana will be more than a conqueror in all these things as GOD promises us.
Ro, dear brother, I know how you're feeling, when my husband & I had found out that we were meant for each other in His will from our Lord 34 years ago, both my parents & his parents didn't want to give us their blessings & my in laws had thrown my husband out b/c of his determination in marrying me . We were so broken hearted & went on planning to get married without our parents' blessings or presence. God is always in absolute control, He had answered our earnest cries to HIM by moving our parents' hearts before the wedding day & moved them to attend our wedding to accept us . We have been happily married for 32 years & praise the Lord that He had worked things out for us & listening to all our faithful & earnest cries to Him that both my parents/my parents-in-law had accepted me/my husband into their lives & love us as their own as time went by. My very stubborn parents had accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior 12 years ago experiencing GOD's wonderful work & changes in me & my parents-in-law just got baptized this past Christmas experiencing our awesome GOD's wonderful work in our lives. Dear Ro, nothing is too difficult for our awesome GOD, keep on believing & trust in Him whole heartedly that He will make a way for you. My hubby & I had been praying, crying earnestly to GOD continuously for all these years & God had granted us our wishes that both my parents' & parents-in-law's family had accepted us & we got to see each other's family & spending all holidays, special occasions happily together all the time we've been married. PTL indeed.
Cheer up, Ro, you & Alana will be more than a conqueror staying in HIM. :D. Stay in faith, stay in HIM & be abundantly blessed. <3
...I would always keep you & Alana in prayers & we want the best for the two of you. <3...
Ro, I don't understand. Perhaps I failed to get the gravity of the situation, but your family is going to disown you?

Auntie Wing Yee,
Your words and testimony brought so much warmth and comfort to my heart. I've meditating on your story, and on your encouragement. I thank the Lord for putting you (and your family) into our lives, and I thank you for sharing something that must be so personal with me. I had no idea you could have understood my pain so intimately, but I can see now. You have been there, you have suffered, you and your husband. Yet, God has been faithful and He has seen you through. In His time, though it has taken years. May God continue to give us His eyes, His perspective, and His mind. I was just talking to Alana, and reflecting on how you have indeed been one of our most faithful prayer partners, praying for Alana and myself for years. If I've never thanked you enough, I thank you now from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for also sharing in our joy and happiness, in what God has prepared for our relationship. Your love and support truly helps carry us. We will definitely stay in Christ, and walk as closely as we can with Him. Looking forward to thanking you in person one day, and will continue to keep you and your whole family in my prayers as well. Love you so much with the love of Christ
