Happy Hearts :)
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Even before I learned how to write my full name, I witnessed a not so perfect part of my life. I would prefer not to go on details but I still get a picture of that night my parents separated. We were a happy family and both mom and dad did what they were ought to do, to become the best as they can be as parents of four children. They loved us in their own ways, provided us with everything we needed and more. But fate has it that they can’t live together under the same roof and would later forget they were husband and wife.
Growing up, I wished I didn’t have to be part of that scenario but the thing of the past is what basically molded me today. And if given a chance to change things, I would still allow the events to go on, I wouldn’t mind going on the same process. :)
I can only be happier because it got us siblings closer to each other; I appreciated how I have a best friend in my younger sister even if we didn’t have to share the same room for almost all our lives. Kuya Jong became a stronger person; he took on the right to become the eldest, for he is responsible and sound in his decisions. He is a very talented guy; he could possibly live anywhere with all the skills he’s equipped with. Then goes Kuya Jan, the unlikely soft hearted. He’s like a brother bear, he combines this very charming face and man-of-steel built and still manages to give us hugs and cook the best dishes I’ve tasted.
Furthermore, I became witness to what some would misunderstand for me finding two true love stories.
My dad recently married his first love. They ended up having separate lives after she decided to pursue her bigger dreams instead of marrying my dad who then just graduated from engineering. I can see the happiness in his eyes during their wedding night last month. He’s a man of few words; he was so cute when he almost trembled while informing us his children of their wedding. Of course we can only wish him happiness. :)
Their affair might have wrecked our family but I know mom is now happy and contented with her partner. They’re still together and I can see how much he cared for my mom.
Truly, Mom and Dad didn’t make a perfectly sweet couple, but what went before didn’t make them any lesser of a person. They’re both lovingly parents to all of us. They make other people happy. They help friends to the best of their resources.
A lot of people may wonder how I could act so optimistic with what happened. I tell you, we people live on earth to experience such great things in order to learn, love and live fully. Living doesn’t always mean having the same life story as the families around us who go to church together every Sundays, who have parents, attend the PTA meeting, who all sleep together in one house. I accepted everything as part of my life song even before I learned to use facebook or even before I started to write on a blog. These are all part of who I am. :)
