I was inactive last week because of some reason. And the reason was because my sister assigned in a different branch as a back up , she's a supervisor in one of the department in RCS ( it's a supermarket here in Central Luzon). The branch is a bit far from our house and she needs to stay there for two weeks.
My sister is a single mom. The father of his daughter leave her when she was pregnant without any reason. As in, no reason. One day the guy didnt come home and we dont have any news about him until now. My sister doesn't want to talk about that guy anymore so we tried not to mentioned his name.
She leave her daughter to my mother while she was working at day then she get her daughter when she's out from her work. I feel her tiredness everyday because after work she will washed the feeding bottles of her daughter , clean their room and bath her daughter. She remain so silent and you cant hear the word from her that she's tired or she has regrets.
While she was on the other branch, I take a little responsibilty on my niece welfare. Aside from taking good care of my son, I also take care of my niece. I take her to bath, make a milk, washed the feeding bottles and do some walks outside. In that little way, I can help my mother and sister.
They do video calls everyday. I told her how's her daughter in a daily basis. It's a little act but for a mother who misses her daughter its a big thing.
To all the single moms out there. I salute you all. To all your hardworks just to raised your child. To be a mom and to be a dad at the same time.
I admire your sister for being strong and a hero too. Being a mother and a father at the same time is something to be admired. She deserve all the blessings in this world, and so are you for helping her and for being there for her.
