This is my father, I can't mention his name and some of his facial features due to some personal problems.
I grew up having no father and mother, but I never felt alone because I have the greatest grandparents who supported me financially and emotionally. In fact, I never felt alone and never get bullied for having a broken family because my grandma taught me well and she always reminds me that being a product of a broken family will never be a hindrance in my life.
How I met my father?
Okay, have you ever felt the feeling of being incomplete? Every Christmas season, I always wonder where is my father is and really wanted to see him. I think that's what a normal son would do right? When I was a child, I really wanted to see him, but sice I'am a child, then I don't know where to start and where to go. But now that I'm on the right and somehow I have my own money I really took the risk in looking for him.
According to my source, my father is somewhere in Bataan and he is suffering from mental problem due to drug addiction (my father was a drug addict influenced by his friends in his younger days). I kept this information for a long time because I know that I can use them in the future, so the first thing that I did is to I searched mental hospitals in Bataan, there were few mental hospitals there so it was easy for me to searched for him, I emailed every hospitals there and after 2 days while I was on my lunch break I received a miss call from an unknown number, so I texted it and asked who was it they responded and they said that they have responded to my email already, so I rushed on my computer and checked my emails, it was confirmed by the doctor that my father is one of their patient and actually he's in good condition already and already normal, they wanted to release him from the center but they don't have any background of my father, they used to deliver my father in Angeles, Pampangga when they heard that he has relative there but failed to do so because no one knew him there. They were really happy for us and even the doctor is crying for this great news! They said they will support and guide me all throughout this journey.
The Next problem.
Now that I have information about my father, new problems arises. Some of my family member doesn't want him back because it's still fresh on their mind of what had happened before, but for me, I guess people should learn how to forgive, even the Almighty Lord our creator knows how to forgive, how about us? We are just an ordinary person and I think my father deserves a second chance, when I talked to my father, he said that he is now suffering and God allows these things to happen because God cursed him for all of the wrong things he had done, this brought me to tears and in deep pain. I can't imagine how hard life is in a Mental Hospital and it hurts me a lot knowing that you have a father who has a mental problem, the people would think that I also have a mental problem since my father has. My friend Ivana inspired me a lot when she say's that life is too short to suffer and I should be proud because the center where my father is being taken good care of him and that I should be always positive in life.
What's next??
What's next?? I really don't know! My mind is suffering and I'm tired already but I never want to surrender! My sister told me that all we can do for now is to send financial support to our father and she can't let me bring my father back in Davao because his life would be in real danger. I'm sorry if I can't tell you guys the whole story. I'm planning to send my father a cell phone so can communicate with him everyday. I think as a son that is the best way that I could do, to have a constant communication and I know it will help him a lot for his fast recovery.
Please God help me in this JOURNEY
