When It Rains, It Pours

29 85

When it rains, it pours.Whether a blessing or a problem, they keep on coming like jeez louis, can you hold your horses! "

Okay, so this will be another rant or if you may, I will have to express everything here because I know that most of you are aware of my situation and won't judge me. So apologies, my friends.

Last night, I received a call from my mom. She was also venting her frustrations and problems on me with regard to what had happened to her husband. According to her, Tito is being stubborn. I mean, he gets grumpy and annoyed over small things, which makes him hard to handle and take care of. He also doesn't want to wear a diaper. My mom is in her senior years and taking care of her husband is hard for her. She is also taking meds for her high blood pressure.

They are both caretakers on a big farm. That has been their job for more than 20 years. After my mom's boss died, there has been talk that the wife of his boss will sell the farm and my mom will be compensated. And now that this happened to my stepfather, there's a big possibility that their boss will look for someone to take over their job because, obviously, my mom cannot do their work properly.

So I told her if that happened, she could use the money to build a small house for both of them on a piece of land that she owns in Bataan. She could raise pigs, and we, as their children, would help them as much as we could. And I also told her to look for someone among her husband's relatives that would help her take care of him. 

But Mom told me that there is no one among her husband's kin that is available. Or maybe she doesn't like the idea. Knowing her, she doesn't like other people inside her house unless it's us. 

If only I could take them both to our house, but having two sick people in one house is a burden, especially if only one person is working. It would be hard for all of us.

And now that mom is being stubborn as well, it really bothers me. Like, what should I do? Both of my sisters are working as well; one is in Hong Kong and the youngest is in PAF. 

Me and my sisters agreed to help them as much as we could, to support them. So I hope our mom will stop being stubborn as well and agrees to what our plan is.

Kpag nagkaka-edad po ata talagang tumitigas na ang ulo. But hopefully na sana maging okay na po siya for your mom's sake also, para hindi na po din siya ma-stress at lalo nagmemedicine po siya. It's a good thing na meron po kayong mga anak niya na handang tumulong. God bless po.

Pstt.. Huwag magpadala sa emotions sissy.. Hehe. Pero ganun nga talaga siguro pag may edad na sis. Sabi nga kasi nila, "Papunta ka palang, pabalik na ako." Mga ganun na saying ba. Nakakainis lang din minsan. But I hope naman na sana pag medyo magka-edad na papa ko at mama ko, hindi nila ako bibigyan nang sakit sa ulo. Love ko kaya yung dalawang yun..

Phillipine Air Force Yen. Nagtuturo sya ng english language doon.. Nagtraining din sya for 1 year ara maging sunadlo pero office job sya. Pero kapag kinulang daw sa sundalo eh isasabak sila. Bihira lang sya sa bahay nila kasi sa kampo sya palagi. Kaya yung asawa nya ang nagbabantay sa mga anak..
