My Simple World

Just this morning I and my father went over to the old house where my grandma lives. She was the one who said to stay in the house for several reasons related to the amenities that were left there. Actually we would like to let her transfer to one of her favorite daughter which is the youngest among her siblings. It sounds abnormal for a Filipino like us here but we have a reason for doing so. Actually the reason behind all this things including our transfer to a new location is about abuse.

Our parents cared for us from birth until these days and now we want to return the good things that they have done for us. It is our number one priority besides each of our goals in life. We want to alleviate their sufferings because we have witness how this people became so dominant over our family especially with our parents. Although we call them my uncles, aunties, and cousins but the pain that we carried for a very long years wasn’t buried down with the history. Especially when my mother talks about her experience during the holy week many years ago, we really recover the hatred of why they have done that to my mother who used to be their sister.

We were thinking that hopefully they might change over the years but I in a sad manner they still remain the same. That’s why my sisters tried to make their best to find a way that my parents will be away from that place and away from those people. It’s very hard for us to leave the place because it is our place of origin but we sacrificed our attachment to it so that our parents can have a better living.
