I was on the phone with my only brother a few hours ago, I wanted to greet my dad but he's drunk and he don't want to talk to me as I left the house without telling him because he's always not around and I didn't have the chance to do so.
Few days ago, I was thinking of whatever present I could give him so I asked Prince to get me a copy of 'The Best of Lobo' album because I know it's his favorite. I was supposed to cook pasta and bring it to our Kamias home as well. My mood changed and I became very disappointed when I found out that my father's drunk. He just got himself cured from tuberculosis few months ago after 6 months of treatment and there he goes with his vices again.
I remember being very close to my father when I was younger. He bought my first bike when I turned 5. He fixed an old guitar so I can use it to practice when I was 13. He gave me a cellphone when I finished high school. I appreciate that even though we're not rich, he always try to provide the things that I wanted. Until the time came that he told me he can't send me to school anymore - my tuition fee is not more than Php400 in PUP and my allowance is just Php100 everyday so it really didn't make any sense to me. I knew I needed to do something to survive and finish college on my own. From then on, our bond just went down to drain.
I am to become a parent soon and I can only try to be the best mom that I can. I promised myself that I will work very hard to provide for whatever my child will need - food, shelter and decent education. I know that beyond these, a good parent needs to be an example, gain the child's trust and respect.
