A woman who wanted her life to be filled with happiness and joy. I known her much and her miseries in life. She is a woman of courage, faith and love. She is full of hopes and dreams, but suddenly all of them disappeared and grumbled to pieces. She was left by her husband to join other woman. But she retained to be strong and firm, though, storms of problems try to stumble her. Her life today is simple, but happy, albeit, petty problems develop, she believes that God is the ultimate answer.
This woman was born without the presence of her father. She is in the womb of her mother when her father dies from drowning in the sea, the time they were celebrating to his pastorship in USA and migration, too. They had celebrated in the beach, as her father was excellent swimmer, he tries to save his drowning sister, sacrificing his own life. Her father's body was never been found, as the search and retrieval operation is concerned. Thus, when her birth came through, she did not ever feel to have a father with her side. After she had reached six years old, her mother married to a man she does not know about. She was left to her grandparents with her aunt living with them, yet her mother was happily living with her new family.
As she grows, she was asked to work as baby sitter for her second-generation kin's children, and to be a helper in the household. At a young age, she able to endure and labor to earning money, yet she did cease to work, because she had to continue school and finish up. Her mother has tried to custody her with her new family, immediately her husband, the step-father, resisted and denied the idea to be joined with them. So, she was failed felt the love from her mother, until her grandparents died, her mother decided to bring in her new family to where she lives. Though the transfer was successful, she was not able to be with her mother again, because she needs to go to college, making their bondage asunder.
As she stepped to college, she was seemingly not able to pursue it after that she transformed her solely inheritance from her father, the landfield in her father's hometown, into money. They were contracted to one of her father's sibling to collateral the land in exchange for certain amount of money, that is big in that time. She utilized the money to support her studies. She decided to take midwifery, instead of nursing, because her financial aspect is enough to this course. She graduated from college, took the board exam, and achieved it. She began to fall in love with her childhood friend and married him. Their love produced five lovely and intelligently children. But she suffered enormously when her husband took them to his mother's presence. She lived in the house that is small, simple and shack, yet full of dreams that someday a real home will be her owned. She distressed from her mother-in-law's sufferings and inflictions. She did not have chance to feel that she accepted to their family. I know that the mother-in-law was not voted to her as daughter-in-law, because she wants somebody to her son who is rich, high-status, career woman and come from a reputable family, that she fails to be in all these criteria. One time of her life, she tried to get help from her father-in-law in backing her up to a position of midwife in their town, however, the mother-in-law meddled and stopped her husband to help her. Having that unfortunate help, she still pursued to have work. She applied personally and luckily she was chosen to be contractual in the position, and finally reached permanency. The work is her source of financial support and substance for her children, as they grow fast in learning, up to present, it is her source of living.
A great revolution and chaos came to her life, when she found out about her husband's cheating. A mistress who is very pleasing to their side, because of money and help given to his family, that they tolerated it. She was already down and listless that time. She has no someone to cry on, but she faced it with courage by herself. A point where the mother-in-law dared her child to choose between her and his wife. But the man did not choose nobody. At that moment, a big rift between the two women had formed. The husband then subsided from meeting the mistress. Thus, their family became intact again and safe from destruction. The husband planned to work overseas thinking that is the only way to support his children in their studies. He flew in other country bringing the hope to send his children to college and be successful in their lives. The children had school and finished their studies. In the long run the children had successfully ended up with flying colors and reached professional level.
A disastrous news caused her life more miserable, when she knew that her son had been suffered from kidney failure. She had to provide him with dialysis and other medical aspect to maintain his life. Because of that disparaging situation, she had to work up for money for the dialysis. Borrowing from other people's money, loaned through work from government insurances, pawned all her jewelries and important things, and even collateral the land she had only owned to bank to save her son's life. In God's grace and love, her son has given second chance to live and change. He was transplanted a new kidney and new beginnings are awaiting him. Then she was relieved about that problem. Until another disastrous trial try to test her again. She found out that her husband had been cheating again. Another woman has been appeared, and the worst is that she bore the child of his. The child turning adolescence when that adulterous act was brought up. Another worst scenario, the oriented family of the husband had been surreptitiously kept and tolerated that adultery he is committing. But all of their secrecy were disclosed, because I believe that God search a way to divulge that extramarital affair. She decided to separate with him, but the husband did not respond to her request. Not long enough, until, recently the mother-in-law died. The husband never showed up to her, even to his children, though the funeral was held three houses opposite to her house. Then, the husband determined to separate from her. Right now their lives are already apart. The ex-husband have new family, and she has moved on and living for her children and grandchild. Though life is crucial to her, and owes unstopping to seek her, she is still brave and facing tomorrow with gladness and tranquility, that God will give her break from problems, and endowing the wish she yearns, to have her children's lives with good fortune, successful careers and happy families.
