Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness. – H. Jackson Brown Jr.
ON LOVE
Since Sarah entered showbusiness, people – viewers locally and internationally admired her dedication to her craft. Each time she steps on the stage, she gives pride to the Philippines, continuously improving herself. From singing, to acting, to modeling – to even turning herself into the best dancer yet – hence the title the undisputed “Pop Star” of the Philippines. Sarah G is the epitome of celebrity that practices perfectionism. From diction, to manners, to even performing.
Her dedication to her family was amazing – we all know that. She practically worked very hard for her whole family giving them every opportunity they could ever, ever get and gain from this lifetime. Imagine – she was able to send her siblings to the best schools in the world – Paris and Japan, while she was deprived of the same opportunity. Rather, she was tasked –which of course, she willingly gave in without hesitation – to work out of love for her family.
Feb 20, 20202 – the Philippines stopped in a heartbeat, and immediately cheered on Sarah Geronimo when she, at 31, finally braved to wed Matteo Guidicelli. While the Philippine showbiz industry and the millions of followers of the couple cheered and celebrated for them, the Geronimo family did otherwise. Mommy Divine mourned for the loss of her daughter to Matteo – while the rest of the family members chose to stay quiet about the secret wedding.
ON FORGIVENESS
It’s been two years, and eight months since – and just yesterday – Sarah G, penned a love letter seeking forgiveness from her parents. And once again, we all back her up as she chooses to humble herself and publicly shares her letter to them – well, there was no better way, as the communication line between the Geronimos and the Guidicellis was cut the day she chose to start a family with Matteo.
In reality, how many times should a daughter who dedicated most of her existence – body, heart, soul and prayers to her family – seek forgiveness? How humble can she ever be? Should she ever be?
Has she made a wrong decision really? ..while we see how Matteo and his family treats her with utmost love and respect. It’s not everyday, you will see a man fall in love with his wife as much as Matteo does.
On her note she mentioned on her post:
“Hindi ko po ito madalas gawin dahil gusto ko po mapanatiling pribado ang aking personal na buhay pero pinipili ko pong kunin ang pagkakataon na ito…”
“Gusto ko rin kunin ang pagkakataon na ito sa paraan din na ito.. na humingi ng tawad sa aking pamilya na labis na nasaktan sa aking mga naging desisyon sa buhay. Patawad po.
And she continued as published: “Sa aking mga magulang.. walang hanggan po ang pasasalamat ko para sa buhay na ibinigay niyo sa akin, sa aming magkakapatid.
“Lahat ng suporta at pag aaruga..ang inyong walang katumbas na pagmamahal, walang sino man ang pwedeng makapagpunan po nito.
“Mahal na mahal ko kayo.. daddy at mama ko. araw-araw ko po kayong nami-miss at naiisip.”
At the end, Sarah emphasizes the fact that at the end – she is only human, hence she makes mistakes and now seeks forgiveness.
ON PRAYER
As she pens – not a day passes by without her missing and praying for the day to come when everything will be ok already.
Dear Sarah,
We are praying with you, and we are also hoping that may God continue to heal the broken, and continue to listen to your whispered prayers everyday. We don’t know you, and we don’t know half of the truth – and as you said – truth is just between God and you. Whatever truth you are holding, we can only pray that the desires of your heart be granted.
Wishing you well always.
