Is Your Christmas Merry?

Hello, Steemit friends! How are you all?

Has life been good? It's just a few days before Christmas, but are you ready already?

As for me, I don't think so but I will be celebrating it with my mother and sister and we will be just celebrating with what's have. What I think is important on that day is that my kids would be happy and that everyone will be.

This Christmas is different. earlier this year, my mother and sister had a misunderstanding, A few years ago, at this time of year, they are coming home to my mother's house to celebrate Christmas with us but this year, even a few months ago, they stopped calling my mother.

Our family has been challenged a lot. Sometimes napapapisip ako, mas mabuti pa young ibang pamily ana mga bisyoso because vene if tehy have misunderstanding or they may fight but they would all make up weasily, and they dont plant grudges on thier hearts.

Well, as I grew up I saw my father hating her mother for the worst things one could imagine a mother could do to her son, I can't blame him though because I understand how deeply my father was hurt because of his mother almost taking his and his family's life from him.

My older sisters experienced it with him too and can't blame them for hating.

I remembered those times when they were talking about my lola and about forgiving her, I told my father to forgive her ( of course it was very easy for Me to say that because I was not there when it happened) but I said it because they/ we all said we have Jesus in our lives.

And I even told him that though my lola did not ask for forgiveness from my father, he should forgive her so that his heart will not be burdened. Yun bang malinis ang konsensya nya na haharap sa Dios kahit anong oras.

I realized after saying those words that I said was hard to do even to myself because when I thought about those people who I hated, I can only remember the things that they did.

Though they say that time will heal, and time make you forget, those painkasi na nararamdaman ko ya nagiging core memory eh. Lalo na pag yung damage na dala nun ay malaki din ang effect sa buhay ko.

Long story short, I never knew when my father had forgiven my lola but on the last days of his life, he was calling for his mama, just too bad she went there and humiliated his dying son in front of the people na nasa ward. It was painful to hear it but wala akong magawa.

So back to my sister, isa kasi asa mga pains nya from my mother was that my mother told her that her son was stealing money from her; not just one but a lot of times already.
S
Syempre sino ba namang ina nag gustong malamang nagnanakaw ang anak, and to tell you, her daughter was very defensinve. Alangan ba naman kung nag mga naak ko nag nagnanakaw; we had been leaving cons on our house since tehy do;t know money and that they alwasy ask permission to get the money before taking them.

But what my mother noticed is that when she and her brother is around, the money went missing. There was even a time when my daughter's coin saving on a metal box went missing when she once went to our house. the box was emptied and we found it days after they left to go home.

My mother, when she received money from alms when my father died, she kept the money in her Bible but 2 thousand peso bills got missing. She never said a word about it but then when they went home again, she lost another 500 pesos then when my daughter was playing in the room where they sleep, Aelie found her missing sock and found a 500 peso bill there.

On their last visit, my uncle gave my sister 400 pesos, my sister just put it on the table but then it went missing! Only Dea and my kids were in her living room at that time, I searched for my kid's things but I never found money.

A few days after she and her family left, my sister found money above the refrigerator which is hard for my 3-foot-tall oldest daughter to reach. when they left, no money went missing then.

My other sister refused to listen to her daughter stealing money and ever called my month ever since.

I can feel that my mother was hurt about them cutting her connection with her but I strongly believe that they will eventually come back one of these days especially when they need something from her.

So we will be celebrating this year without them. But I guess it's better this way. You'll know who the genuine is if things get tough, right?

Anyways, we will do our best to make this Christmas merry even if kami lang Muna. Sana merry ang mg apAsko ninyo, fellow steemians.

nadala lang ako sa emotions, Ingat po ang lahat.
