This story has been told my mom during her younger days how they are started their new life as couple. Recalling my memories during my teenage life I can smiled and whisper of my mind and thoughts that it won't last but as human has limitations and only God knows when it ended up. My stories was all about my special someone, my beloved husband Edgar Sr. who's now in the Lord in heaven. We've met in small town , where feast of the patron saint Francis de Asis where he celebration was on Oct. 2-3.The small town was so very busy preparing for the feast and I'm very excited when feast came because there was many activities like having a benefit dance which what we called the Bayle " a visayan dialect , the search for Ms. and Mr. and many more. People in the community and neighboring town was there. And we've met many new faces of teenager's and friends on the said activity. There I've able to knew him, which is also our neighbor of that place. That time I lived with my sisters house who is already married . I went there for vacation taking care of their younger children every school year end. I've met my special someone ,he's gentlemen and very good i n singing. He's favorite hobby is strumming the guitar. There as I've observed many teenagers fall him too. They liked and want to be his bestfriend. That time I've realized and being happy that he selected me as her special friend. Our relationship crews deeper and deeper I knew him and she knew me .We have a good and harmonious relationship with him .He visited to our home and as teenagers adjusting our attitudes too. There were times that we won't have good relations but we talk each other, so that we've able to recover and felt enjoying together with our friends too.He serenade me if we have misunderstanding there he able to released his feelings by singing serenading me during night time and there we reconciled again. Our relationship as lovers last 3 years and by that 25th of December 1983 he was able to went to our place and asked permission to my beloved parents that were going to got married at the age of 20.Were solemnized by the priest as husband and wife and live happily together with our families. Hence we've grown both in church from our younger days, we've participating the church activities as facilitators of any activities done in our community. We've mold and form becoming a good Christian and the aspects of receiving the different sacraments we've been receiving through baptism. Until we transferred .We went to the city where my sister lived. We have 2 children at that time Brian and Angie at that time we transferred in the city. My eldest son at that time year 1988 was only 3 years of age and my daughter was 8 months old that was January 1989 as I've remembered. We lived in the city with my sister in laws house we've there for 5 years .My husband was a tricycle driver at that time and I owned a small store on that time and we've able to be a member of a foundation in the city. There we separated from my sister and transferred to our new house which was also in front of the Church Our Lady of Fatima Parish. There we've been participating any activities of the foundation which was under by the Bishop management .The foundation which was intended for the tidal wave victims for almost 14 years . Happening Aug 16, 1976 in our city. Many casualties happened on that time .When tidal waves hit our city. And by that the congregation of the Daughter of Charity made an action to help the victims and we've one of the member of the said organization or foundation. We have children under 5 to be enrolled by then we became member and participates any activity and sending our children to school. We being monitored by social workers in 6 areas covered by the said foundation. Sponsors helped our children in their educational aspects until at the age of 18 years old so we've been very thankful for the congregation of the daughter of charity who helps us and molded us . And as an officer or a trustee on that time I've been able to travel different places , to defend our plan of the project I've been belonging. We've now residing as of this moment the placed where we bought that time when I was actively part of the said foundation. By the year 1994 we lived in our new home, which we lived in as of this moment.

Since my father is not sufficient for our daily consumption ,we have small garden and raise chickens at home. We helped each other ,my elder brother selling" ballots" an eggs and my other brother continued going to school. And by the efforts we've been helping through we've been able to survived until when we are in our teenage life my father died. We're on the stage of sadness and not easily recovering over life normal. Feeling this emptiness in our life, where the bread passed was not easy. But despite of this happenings in our life we exerted more efforts and struggle for a living. My elder brother work as painter. My second brother helps through as carpenters boy and other work in a company worker and the younger one schooling until now. As of this moment even my father passed away my mother continued her love and care for us she was at home now especially this pandemic time while my brothers working somewhere in far cities were we lived and stayed at home doing some works with my mother and younger brother and decided to join in stary writing. Here I'm able to share and relate my life which gave lessons and learning's to other people or to many people who read my story and inspired to those young teenagers, suffering and have heavier problems in life. For me, they're like problems like thorns in life sometimes it hurts our feelings but sometimes the path in becoming strong as I'm now. And bear in mind that no matter how hard it is Trust God everything will be okay.
