Overcoming Sadness
A journal written by my student who doesn't like to be identified.
Overcoming sadness without my father by my side is more than a challenge to me.
Growing up was never an easy task, especially without having a father since day one. It has always been just my mom, my Lola, my brother and I.
I know that my mother had placed all her efforts just to fulfill the roles of being a mother and a father to me and to my brother. However, that was never enough to fill in the guidance and life lessons I have missed from a father's perspective, never enough to fulfill the father's love that my heart's wanted. I never saw him ever again since tha day he left us. I wasn't able to get to know him more, I didn't get to find out what kind of food he like or even what kind of sport he can play. I don't remember everything about him. I don't remember the warmth of his arms around me and I was too young to remember having his love. I overcome this challenge by being contented in what I have which are my mom, my lola and my brother. They serve as my inspiration and motivation as well to do good things in life . Because of this challenge I realized and learned a lot. One of those is that life is full of ups and downs and that I just have to deal with it the best way I can and be strong. I know that in order to continue to move on in life, I just have to put my faith in God. I believe that he will take care of me together with my mom, my Lola and my brother and he would not put us through anything we could not handle.
