“There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realise nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this and after this.” – Unknown
Oh how time flies! A young mom with 1 Ā½ year old boy wondering what future will bring. A peopleās power brought sad and good news but ours was unfortunate, young dad lost his job. A young family caught up with uprising, unstable employment and unable to sustained for house rentā¦ she left overseas.
She saidā¦
Two years contract to have a small house and open up a clinic of her own
She work hard to pay for placement fees and bought a land to build a house.
Homesickness sets inā¦ dad came and followed by their son.
The two years became four yearsā¦
Dad didnāt finish his job contract and went back home.
He said..
No future in this company, will look for a better one.
Mom and son stayed.
She saidā¦
Working overseas will help finish building the house and the clinic.
Dad came back
Four yearsā¦ six years
Dad found another job and went back home again.
He said…
Better salaryā¦better opportunity
Six years became ten years
Another son bring joy and happiness
Mom has better position, better salary, house done, children in good school
Dad left again for a better job, better salary and better opportunity
Twelve yearsā¦.fifteen yearsā¦
Twenty years ā¦
Mom did post graduateā¦career bloomed ..children happyā¦better education
Dad not happyā¦company closing down
He saidā¦
A business of my own is better
And the day came, he left againā¦
Mom saidā¦
Sons follow your dreamā¦ so she work harder…and… harder
a single parent… a single provider… a career woman
Dad got his own dreamā¦ a business of his own
While mom’s dream clinic is on hold
Twenty five yearsā¦
Trust goneā¦respect goneā¦marriage collapsedā¦
She saidā¦
Letting go is a gift you owed to yourself
Twenty nine years laterā¦
Children finished their studiesā¦gone to pursue their dreams
Mom is alone again…
Twenty-nine years of a beautiful struggle.
