ALWAYS look for the SILVER LINING!

I'll make this quick.

So I traveled for 2 AWESOME events :). My indescribably lovable, caring, and handsome ;) older brother got married XD (yaaay! :'-) they grow up so fast...and I did forgot to mention, his wife is a fairytale princess herself - Simply Gorgeous). HAPPY MARRIED LIFE HUNNIES :*
Then there was my unfathomably fantastic, giving, and also handsome [I might add] ;;) younger brother's graduation from college. CONGRATULATIONS younger twin :p .

You would say, "Awesome! God's been good to you all" and He has. We all are indeed grateful (a moment to thank God... Yes! I go to church like that o:-) Thank you, Lord). With that being said, here's what really happened. Amongst all the merriment, festivity, and preparations, my parents got robbed.

yep! ROBBED!!! Stolen from... Stranded... Raided... Deprived.

[and no! this wasn't even in Nigeria]

It happened right after the wedding. It's a long story and the feeling is definitely undescribeable. They lost a lot of thngs: the very very important ones and some mere giveaways. Some might even call the "important one" life-changing (type of things)...yup! Oops!

Now here's where it gets good.

After a few tears (some more than others *hehe*), we soon concluded that we are actually grateful we didn't lose a life. Everything lost was all material things: paper, precious stones, fiber, vacuums... all (still) replaceable.

There's the silver lining. Times may seem tough, things may get you down, you may even feel all hope is lost. However, remember you still live to see another day and there are tons and tons of people around you who can't wait to see you succeed too. Make the BEST of it. Keep planning and pushing for the future. It could be worse... but IT'S NOT!

ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING!
