Family Fued


My heart beat so fast and in the end, I was astounded and left speechless..

I was coming from yet again, an awful morning when my Aunt, the eldest sibling of my mom paid a visit, out of the blue. I wasn't expecting any of her kind in a gloomy noon of today. I was struck when I saw her, didn't know what to do, so I blessed. I figured the moment she stepped into the house, her visiting only meant one thing, we need to talk things out about my ever dysfunctional family and how this dysfunctionality, if there's such word, brought us nowhere.

To make the long story short, nothing was fixed and all she had in mind was to clarify, from our point of view, what could have sent my mom into their dwelling, which I think she was able to achieve.

I admire the coming of my aunt. She is one of my aunts that I don't usually speak to in several occasions or gatherings though I see her roaming around talking to others. When she spoke a while ago, I saw the sincerity and truthfulness on her face and with the way she speaks to my lolo and me. I just hope she's not faking it because if she did, I'd be completely disgusted. In fairness to her, I believed her. I wasn't able to thank her when she's about to leave. I want to thank her for taking time to help our family patch things up. But only my parents have the final say regarding this matter.

I've been dealing with a broken family quite well. I don't feel that we're rather broken. I often even forget that we are such. But I want my whole family back, though I think only God knows what should be proper for me and my family, especially for my younger siblings. How I wish I can turn back time and fix whatever there is that needs fixing. But I won't risk it. I would just have to deal with the present and learn from my past. Besides, I am what I am right now because of my history.

Just a thought: If people have nothing better to say, why don't they just shut their fu****' mouth.
