Are you loved?

About two days ago I woke up after a disturbed sleep worrying about money and the other things that occupy our western brains. Scratching my eyes I went tot he toilet and stood on a piece of paper that said

“JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH”

This was written by a friend who here in the Philipinnes has had a life that none of us could really comprehend, and myself and my UK friend Steve had taken him in as friend and house boy to help him with his mediacl needs and getting a job and more important we are helping him to get upto speed with his education so he can stand on his own two feet soon. He just needs the chance.

Then I switched on my mobile and a friend in Manila siad he really loved me and missed me.

The next text was from my Uk friend Steve who also told me he loved me.

Switched on my e mail to get a friend in Saigon tell me he misses me.

Switched on my Skype and phoned my mum and I told her I loved her.

Now the point of this is that when I was in the UK I really cannot ever remember a time when so many people in a short space of time told me they loved me or cared for me.

Here in the Philippines when you make a friend who just knows that money is not going to be given in anyway until trust s confirmed: when yo make a Pinoy friend you have a true friend, and I spent the rest of the day knowing I was loved and needed. What else can make you dance through the day?

Woke up this morning and NOTHING. Oh well I will still dance.
