He arrive at our home together with his parents when he was 6 years old. I am not blessed with a baby in my 2 years marriage. Maybe because of my longing to have a baby of my own I treated that boy as my own baby boy. His name VEMARC LAURIE ALVIAR the only blessing that God grant to his parents. He is respectful God fearing son,hardworking even though at a very young age. Always helps us in household chores and in our shop. He is a very good student. His mom loves him so much everyday she wake up early in the morning prepare the things that his son brings to school and helps him in his assignments.
As we all know that child meets their classmates and schoolmates everyday with different behaviors and habit that a child also can adopt. From time to time Vemarc change his attitude toward his parents he did not listen to his mother he always wanted to be with his playmates until such time Vemarc know how to play a computer games.His day cannot be complete without visiting computer shop. From school after he change his clothes he goes to computer shop and goes back home at 10 pm, He did it everyday.
At the age of 45 his mother died of cardiac arrest and he is 11 years old.He cried and cried he cannot accept that his mom left him and she’s not come back anymore. After the burial when we got home Vemarc had a difficulty in breathing and immediately we bring him to the hospital. The doctor said he has a weak heart. So I prayed “Lord please help us and heal Vemarc and help him that he may survive all the trials in life I believe in your Power Amen” After four 2 hours the doctor ask him “are you ok? Vemrac said “yes doc.You want to go home ?the doctor ask again.He replied Yes I want doc. Then we paid the bill and buy the medicine and vitamins for him and we got home.to make this short He sleep with us I always comfort him because Vemarc has also a weak heart I am the one who care for him,help his projects and always talking to him advice him until such time Vemarc change everything.
He stop going to the computer shop he helps me in my shop, I train him how to cook how to wash his cloths,ironing uniforms,he learn a lots. Vemarc is a loving child and caring when he saw me crying he comfort me wipe my tears and said “ stop crying auntie I got hurt also.”and hug me.Every time we talk I always remind him to study hard because that was the dream of his mom for him.Even though she is not here but she is watching and happy to see you that son become professional someday.And he promise me whatever happens he continue his study.
Sometimes at a very young age his favorite games he miss it and ask money to go to compshop. Then I give him but he always do that again and again..one day he ask me to buy a news paper for his project I scold him;and I treat him as a son that’s why I don’t hesitate to scold him if he make mistakes but I gave him I told him if I don’t see the scratch of your project I did not believe you that you are making project.Until such time he did not make his project on our house.He makes it during free time in school.
After Graduation he gave me a big enveloped and I surprised to see his project all the money he ask me..I thanks him and make a hug and my tears falling down.saying “ thank you that you made it better I did not expect this “ I said and his grade all are passed.
Year 2016 I need to leave him alone on our rented house because of the serious problems comes to my life.Before I left him I explain him everything that I need to leave him alone and both we cry and told me he respect my decision and he’ll be ok. He hugs me tight while crying.while I’m packing my things and then leave him.
On the way home can’t stop crying till I got home I cant sleep properly because I miss him so much and then realize that I need to accept the fact that from now Vemarc and I we’re not leaving together as mother and son.The other day I opened my suitcase I saw a Pic of Vemarc inside my clothes and there’s a message at the back of his pic saying “AUNTIE BE CAREFULL ALWAYS WHEREVER YOU GO I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU” with sad face and crying.i did nothing except cry and cry and cry..and I ask God what will be his plan for me?later on I said God Your will be done I accept everything that good and bad that may that may happens in my life.
Everyday I text him if how he is?and he said that he is fine but he miss me so much and the good news is his neighbor says that Vemarc very responsible child at the young age ,he manage his own daily living and chores in the house doing his assignments cooking washing his clothes cleaning house.And I'm happy for him for that news.Even Vemarc thanks me for training him,he learns a lot and because of that it is easy for him to manage his life even without parents.But Vemarc cant go to school if without money for his expenses.My husband give him some allowance every month.
On day he text me that he go to Valenzuela city to pursue his study there,his aunt in abroad sponsored him.Again my tears falling again and I said if only I am reach I am the one who support him until he finished his study.
It was 2 years ago,but until now maybe it hurts for me that he may not leave together with us even though we have communicate like chat and video call. And he is 15 years old now not a child anymore.He aunt and uncles are very proud of him because Vemarcs learn a lot. He has learned life lessons early in his life unlike other kids who does not know about life. Whenever we talk over the phone he would always tell me how he is doing well in school in fact he is included in the Top ranked students. Now his wish and my wish as well is we can see each other again.
