My Family

my kuya Ton, me, my mom, my younger sister, her daughter Yesha and her husband Ryan

Simple, not complicated. Common and not really dramatic. That's what I thought about the family I have. But when people heard my story they thought it would make a very good dramatic film. Well, every family has a story to tell. Whatever story we have, I am thankful of the family I got and wouldn't trade it for anything.

one of the sad stories I got is that we don't live together as a family for a long time. My mom works abroad that's why and the three of us (her children stayed with our relatives separately). I don't really see that as "abnormal" for a family because we are accommodated by families who never treated us as strangers. It's like having another family.

i was in high school then that I realized it wasn't a normal set up for a family and there I started dreaming and praying what if we were together. I hope that someday that will happen.

It is happening for a number of days but not really for a long time like having it permanent because my mom still works abroad and my younger sister is already married so she got a family of her own.

Christmas vacation was the best vacation I think I have because it was a dream come true. we were together and we even got pictures.
