One-Way Green Arrow Sign

I have been very quiet in this space, but I do update my Instagram account. I mostly post stories. 

My life has not changed much, although I trimmed some people out of it, which for me is a blessing.

Life is quieter and peaceful. Who doesn't want that? 

But how do you trust again when trust has been broken over and over? This isn't about the mister and my relationship, but about somebody I once called "friend." 

Anyway, yesterday at the grocery store, I noticed that the one-way green arrow signs on the floor are gone. What does that mean? 

It seemed like businesses were slowly going back to normal, and even restaurants were open for dine-in again.

While at the grocery store, someone said hi to me. I was picking out oranges in the produce aisle, so I didn't notice the people around me.

"Hi Tita Lili!" 

I instantly knew that that greeting was for me. 

I looked up, and there was Andrew. He's one of the boy's close friends. I was so happy to see him, even if it was a quick hello because I think he was still on the clock.

Normally, I'd see them at home or at our driveway when they pick up the boy to go somewhere. 

They haven't been hanging out since the start of the pandemic.

By the way, the boy doesn't have any Filipino friends, and for his friends to respectfully call me Tita is such a wonderful thing. 

Like I said before, I am extremely grateful for all the relationships that my kids make outside our home.
