My Familys Tale to Tell

Simply typical is the word to be describe my family. Nothing mixed but is purely wholesome in origin. Fully Filipino that's what it is and this is my Family's tale to tell.

Everything started during the late 50's. Love really brought two people closer which they didn't even expected. Seeing that both of my great grand parents started out as very good friends, who would expect that something special have happened after they were brought together. They ended up marrying each other and still keeping their promises to each other. Having been staying together for a very long time, the fruit of their love bore five children. They were Apolonia Lindong, Binancio Lindong, Clara Lindong, Juana Lindong and my grandmother,Isabela Lindong.

Truly they were a symbol of a happy family. Each cooperated with the farm work great grandfather have beencontinuing to work with eversince his teenege years. Well, the only thing constant in this world is change so soon enough, the happy family slowly disbanded due to each having found a new home and family when they settled down. My grandmother met up with my grandpa when they were still at a very young age. Well they said that grandpa's parents were expert bilao makers still that didn't reflect much on grandpa. My grandpa Leon was a very promising man indeed far from making bilao. He showed great prowess in fighting for what is right. Maybe that's why grandma decided to go with him even at the age of 18. They were both happy and had five healthy and normal children. They were Elma, Miguela, Perfecto,Juan, and my mother, Luisa. Everything was going fine until my grandpa was called out to participate in World War 1. This was a shocking news to everyone in the family but nobody made it a big deal. Grandpa having been training for momemts like these assured his family that he'd come back alive. And he did. He even joined the World War 2. But after living a perilous life, grandpa passed away with a heart related ailment. They didn't get the chance to even cure it due to money problems.

Still, one must move on so despite of all those tragic events, mom still met up with my Mindoreño dad. Having told me that he just saw mom in her dormitory, he already courted her. Barely unbelievable but yes, it's true. You would never know what gets into peoples heads. Well, that's where me, my sister Mharlotte and brother John Felix comes in. They told us that we were a bunch of annoying and naughty little brats and a little bit of useless. Still, playing was what we always did when we were younger which made us grow a little bit childish. They regretted nothing about this so I can say, we are really one big happy family starting from the roots to the fruits.
