In my first post where I dedicate as introduction doesn't serve its purpose right, because it only tell short information in general which is we are four siblings and I am the youngest. I just realized it after I have read the introduction of @Panky . So, I am bit guilty about it, that's why I am sharing to you now some deep story to know me better. My apology that it take long enough to finally realized.

My Childhood years

After I was born, we stayed in my Mom's town for the next 4 years. Within that early years mom left when I was 2 years old, if I'm not mistaken, to work in Manila. Dad was the one who took care of us, and when she get back after almost two years, I couldn't even recognize her. I know it's sad at the same time funny because of the scenario. It's because when she arrived, it was at dawn and I am still sleepy because they just woke me up, to meet her. When she saw me she's so happy and I had no idea why, she tried to hug me but I am scared of her and hide from my sister's back. Then, she asked me if I know her. I said I don't. Then she told me, she is my mother. "My mother is in Manila" I replied. And they laugh together. Yes, I do remember that specific event in my mind up until now, I was 4 years old that time. I don't know maybe because it was good experience.

Few months later, father decided to bring us to his home town as his furniture job was getting slow and his compensation couldn't fit from our increasing needs as we, siblings have grown and my 3 elder siblings were sent to school. My mother agree to it. But we left my eldest sister because she don't want to stop her study. Mom and dad respected her decision. She was almost finished her last years in primary education that time. We left her at my aunt, my mother's sister. When we arrived in my father's hometown. We don't have place to stay so, we went to the mountain where grandfather had a small house in his coconut land. We lived there for almost 2 years when father finish our house in the village. My brother and sister, who is with us, resume their study and father got my eldest sister whom we left in mother's hometown. I was sent in school in my late years because I was rejected, as I have mentioned in my second published article here, entitled "Childhood Rejection".

When we all sent to school father had to do multiple job in order to met our daily needs. After few years he got serious health problem that if continued to be neglected will lead to death. Since we don't have enough money for medication because his illness must undergone an operation to fully recover. He continued to bare with it, especially when my eldest sister suffered psychological problem for almost 3 years. We suffered so much hard time especially father. He got over fatigue that made his illness severe. After 3 years for enduring his illness, and my sister finally recovered. We need to attend father's illness and find ways for it to be treated. That time we learned that there is free medication offered in the town. We knew that it's not 100% sure to be successful but we need to take the risk or we will lose father forever.

The choice is ours.
