You see that couple right there? She was an innocent Filipino girl who came to the states in search of a new life, as a nurse. He was a car dealer that knew all too much about girls and has been with all too many. But when he saw her, he thought she was beautiful. Being as naive as she was, she fell in love with him. Almost instantly, when she met him at a Black Angus in a little village called San Lorenzo. It was something about his words. It was something about his face. It was something about him that made her go head over heels. And he loved her. He hadn’t really loved a girl before, as much as he loved her. It scared him. He didn’t really know how to be a good boyfriend. He didn’t know how to be in a relationship. He had been so used to going from girl to girl. So he didn’t know what to do with her. So he failed. He failed over and over again. He ended up marrying her, having a little nice wedding in Lake Tahoe, but still. He’d stay with her, and out of no where, he’d leave. Sometimes, as long as even 3 days. Or more. It hurt her. She always thought she was doing something wrong. She didn’t know how to let him go, and she didn’t want to either. She was in love with him. But then, he’d come back. As if nothing ever happened, as if he never left. When she would ask him where he was, he wouldn’t answer her. But he’d stay with her for awhile. And once again, he’d leave. And break her again. But of course, she still loved him.
She had gone to the doctor, and they took one of her ovaries due to a tumor of some sort. They were about to take away her other one. Meaning she wouldn’t be able to have children. She had always wanted kids, and she said that if she wasn’t able to have a child anymore, she’d kill herself.
She came to him in tears. She begged him to have a baby with her. That’s not what he wanted. He wanted to continue living the fun life. Partying, etc. He knew that if he got involved with that, the fun life would be over. It broke her heart to say it, but she told him, if he has a baby with her, she can raise it on her own. So he agreed.
She was finally pregnant, and she was so happy. She had a guy she loved, and a baby in her tummy.
One night, she came home from work early, about 8 months pregnant. She walked into the apartment, and tried to open their bedroom door, but it was locked. She asked the manager to come over and open it for her. When the door unlocked and swang open, she felt her heart break. She looked over to the bed to find him sleeping with 2 other girls. She stood at the doorway, all of a sudden in tears. All she could say was, “Why?”
He replied, “Just leave.”
She ran out of the apartment as fast as she could with tears streaming down her face. Bought a one way plane ticket to the Philippines, and lied saying that she was only 7 months pregnant just in order to get on the plane.
On June 5, 1997 in Cebu, Philippines, a baby girl was born. Yes, the baby girl in that picture. She grew up there until she was about 3 years old, having Bisiyat as her first language. She left the Philippines with her mama to come to the states. Daddy wanted to visit Mama. So she came back with a baby girl, still in love with him, but almost hating him at the same time. They were broken up and soon getting a divorce. But he still wanted to see her.
But once he saw that little girl, it changed his world. He thought that she was the most beautiful baby girl he’s ever seen. She didn’t know good English, but in time, he was able to teach her, and she ended up forgetting her mother tongue. That little girl became his world.
That’s when he decided to change. His whole life became dedicated to that little girl. When Mommy had to work, Dad would watch her, always. He loved this little girl more than he still loved her mom.
One day, Mom said she met a new guy from the air force, and she was going to take the baby girl away with her to go live with her soon-to-be step dad in Utah. When Dad heard that, he became angry. Mom was about to take his whole world away. He wouldn’t let her.
So he fought. He got one of the best top notch lawyers. And did whatever he could to keep the little girl. And Mom was alone in her fight. Her lawyer didn’t even show up to court. So she lost her little girl, only being able to see her 4 months out of the year, unless Mom came down to visit. She was broken. Completely. She only found the new step dad from the air force so that she was sure that he’d be able to support her in that baby girl. She still loved Dad, not the new guy. The new guy didn’t even always treat her right either. She almost wanted to hate Dad for everything he did.
But she ended up having 2 more little girls with the new guy, while he ended up staying a single dad. She still loves him, but she ended up finally getting over him, while he stayed the rest of his life wishing he still had her. They never hate each other, no matter how much they say they do. But she moved on, and he didn’t. Every girlfriend after her was never as good as she was. He never forgave himself. He lost her.
Because of stupid mistakes.
Take a look at this picture. They all seem happy, right? Because they were. This was one of the few moments they were a family. See that little girl? Yeah, that’s me. On the right is my mom. On the left is my dad. They still love each other. But they will never be together again. I have a broken family.
Moral of this story. When you find the one you love. Never let them go, and do your part.
Take the time to read this, it’s worth it.
