MY FAMILY ( MY MOM'S LIFE)

MY FAMILY ( MY MOM'S LIFE)
My family is composed of six members. They are my mom, dad, big sister, me, my brother and my baby sister. Everybody in our home does a certain job. Sometimes improper doing of our job and laziness makes a very big quarell in our home. And of course my mom is always involved. And of course in terms of love life my parents did not maarry right away. They first passed the level of courtship. But before all of those let's know first my parents.
Before my mom, Teresita Dela Cruz Ambrad, used to live in Negros Oriental in Bayawan City.Their family is an under middle class family. Her mother is a battered wife, because his father is a hard drinker. His day won't be complete without drinking one case of beer or gin. When his father goes home and there is no food to eat, he slaps and beat her wife immidiately, over and over again. Back to my mom, when she finnished her grade six, his father told her that grade six is enough for a child. But my mother wanted to finnish even highschool only. There was an offer to my mom before from a neighbor who took pity to her a free education but his father contradicted and didn't let my mom get the offer because of his pride. So, tobe able to attain her education, she decided to go to Manila and went to her Aunt Tita. She worked there and earn money for her education. But the biggest nightmare in her life in Manila is when her another aunt, Aunt Thalina, a very selfish and and feeling rich aunt, didn't gave the letter for my mom from her family in Negros which stated that her mother died 2 months ago. And you know what did her aunt said?, " Whyif I a have given this to you earlier could you make her alive again?". My mom was extremely sad and extremely mad with her aunt. After resding, the letter, she immidiately decided to go back to Negros to see her mother in the cemetery. When she got there, her father immidiately asked for money to buy a fisherman's net which costed very expensive, my mom do not have a choice but to give. My mom asked her father what is the cause of the death of her mother, and her fether answered that it is because of kidney trouble. My mom stayed there for a month. Then, she went back again to Manila to vontinue her work there.My mom worked in a nurse's house as a helper.Then that nurse transfer residence here in Cebu. She finnished highschool in Colegio dela Inmaculada Concepcion Night Highschool. She woeked during daytime and studie during night. Then he met my father.
