The power of Love and Family by Mary Jane Gultiano

 

   
     A little girl named Ary was born from a loving family. She is the only child of Rex and Nami. She grew up with love and care and surrounded by genuine people. She is the source of happiness for her parents. Her parents always did their best as they could to raise her on their own. Enduring all the hardship together to give their little angel a better life. They always believe that they can overcome any challenges as long as they are together. In their everyday meal, they would share funny stories and exchange laughter while eating.

      Years passed, and an unexpected moment came. When Ary was in her fourth grade, her father was ill and needed to be confined in the hospital. Their family faced financial problems because of the expensive medical bills. Her mother had to find a job, leaving Ary to care for her father. Even though it was very hard for Nami to leave her behind, she chose to find a job so she can pay the bills. Meanwhile, Ary would feed and take care of her father before going to school. Her everyday routines often making her late for her class. However, their family chose to be happy despite the challenges they faced. 

      Another year had pass, and her father slowly recovering. Their smiles grew bigger as they go out in the hospital. As day goes by, fate had a cruel twist. Unfortunately, Ary lost her father and she broke down into pieces. Tears streamed down here face and her mind was full of unanswered questions. "Dad, why did you leave us? You promised we're always together, but why did u left us?" Ary cried as she say those words.  At such a young age, she lost the man of her life. Every corner of their home held memories of her father. Whenever she saw happy families, she couldn’t help but cry. Her mother was also deepl hurt, losing her appetite and often crying.

      When she was in her ninth grade, she would always wish that her father could witness all her achievements.  Ary is always jealous seeing a complete family walking dow the red carpet in their awarding day. A tear fell down in here cheeks as she remembered her father. In the season of Christmas, only Ary and Nami, her mother, celebrated it. Even though they tried to act like everything's fine, they still missed him. The next day, as she open her eyes, she saw God in the clouds and formed the image of her father. Tear are starting to flow, memories are flash, and crash her heart. 

      Now Ary is in her twelfth grade; she is studying hard to achieve her dream. She promised her father that she would soar high and take care of her mother. She's trying to move forward and come to understand why those things happened. She strives to make her father and mother proud. Every person she met, she would tell, “Cherish your loved ones while you have them because you’ll regret it later.” Today, Ary and her mother live peacefully, their hearts forever marked by loss but filled with love and resilience.
