HOW DOES IT FEELS TO BE A SINGLE MOM AWAY FROM YOUR LOVE ONES?


I grew up in a happy family with my papa,mama and three handsome brothers...being the only daughter and the youngest im used to be with someone all the time...I remember nuong una akong magpabunot sa dentist...my mama and my eldest brother Pat was with me...my mama holding my right hand and my brother on my left...I was so nervous but holding their hands makes me strong...when I was 11 yrs.old...my mama was diagnosed with breast cancer...again natakot ako...I was asking myself paano na ako??? But thank God...because until now that I'm 41...my mama is still with me...Sabi ng doctors niya noon di na sya magtatagal...pero marami papala syang mission in life. When I get married it was on my mom's b-day...pero unluckily napabilang ako sa what so called BROKEN FAMILY...I have a son na since his birth is always on my side until I came here in Saipan...I left him when he was 9 yrs old with mama...I miss him a lot...I dont want to...but I have to go to work...marami akong trials na naranasan sa abroad...pag may problema ako my mama and my son ang tinatawagan ko. I am so blessed kasi kahit malayo ako napalaki ng mama kong strong ang anak ko , in a sense na makulit man sya pag may problema ako siya pa ang nag aadvice sa akin how to cope up...dumating din ako sa point na gustong- gusto ko nang umuwi dahil miss na miss ko na ang anak ko. Pag ang anak ko ang may problema di sya nagsasabi sa akin...ayaw nya akong nag aalala...nalalaman ko na lang sa mama kong malungkot pala ang anak ko...sa gabi I always pray to God na sana everything will be okay...syempre di ko maiwasang umiyak na lang hangang makatulog...now 7 years na ako sa abroad. I learned a lot...iyakin pa rin ako...but thinking of my loved ones makes me stand up when I'm down...and sabi nga sa kanta "There's a sunshine after the rain...I thank God kasi malayo man ako sa kanila...he still send me someone to be on my side...si ELY...di ako pinapabayaan ni God...and what ever problem comes...GOD is always with me...kung spoiled ako noon sa family ko...ngayong malayo ako sa kanila spoiled pa rin ako kay GOD...I THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING
