Building a Bridge

I always witness my mama and papa quarrel to the extent of having physical injuries on the part of my mama and seldom to my papa. There was one time my papa punched my mama that caused separation between my two parents. Life is a hell for me without the presence of both. I was extremely affected at those time. I was angry to my papa why he did those to mama. But I realized that I had no right to blame anyone. I am only 11 years old and was innocent about the situation. I didn't even know the cause of misunderstanding. I just kept my mouth shot and continued life despite everything.There in the house, life was cold and useless. I didn't want to eat nor wanted to exist. I had no one to lay my problems because my brothers and sisters were busy in their life as if nothing happened and I didn't want to open it to my friends. I was alone carrying the burden on my own. One time I talked to mama if there's a chance to go back to papa and talked to papa if there's a chance to be with mama for the sake of us, their children. there was no positive response. Didn't know if what am I doing can worsen the situation or can cause again war between the two important warriors in my life. Call me selfish and self-centered. Don't care. All I wanted those time was to build again our broken dreams as one happy family. I was so damned obsessed to bridge the gap and frantically looking for a plan to do it. I'm in a hurry to do it and I realized things cannot be solved quickly as I wanted. It took almost two months to settle the problem. My mama and papa talked privately about their condition and saw the bad effects especially on my part about their separation. For the sake of me and my brothers and sisters, they came up with the solution to build again our family. I was so happy being the youngest at those time. It was the happiest moment in my life, to see my family together again, happy and intact and alive.

bridging the the gap between my parents is I considered as the biggest role I performed in life and will never be tired to perform again if the same situation happen. God is so great. He let me to experience it in order for me to value family, the source of my strength and courage to adapt and accept and fight the ups and downs in life. Many realizations I learned from the past and will always be thankful to God and family for making me strong and positive thinker despite what happened . ....Hope to impart lesson to the reader... Thank you....
