The family that I created along with my husband are currently living with us here on the island of Saipan, except for my daughter Nicole, who lives with my mom in Washington and my son J.K. who has been and still is very well loved and cared for by his grandparents in the village of San Vicente, Saipan.
The family that created me, my mom and used to be my (+)dad, are living in the state of Washington as well as my two brothers and a sister. There are only four of us in the family which is very weird because both my mom and my dad have siblings of 12. The oldest is my brother Joey, then me, next is my sister, and the youngest and still a baby to us is Manuel although he is already 14 years old. Except for my youngest brother Manuel, we are all settled with our lives.
Joey is the oldest and his common law wife is Anuncia Iglecias. They have four children and their names are Jay, Codi, Kelby, and Joeysha. My brother holds a General Manager position in some Automotive Shop. He is a hard working man which makes him able to fully provide a home for his family in Tacoma and support their needs.
My sister Michelle is married to a wonderful man named Bonifacio "Junior" Pati. They have a three year old daughter and her name is J'nelle. Michelle works part time as a Dental Assisstant and her husband works as an accountant for Boeing. They also have their very own house in Auburn that they inherit from Juniors mother.
My mom has been a widow for two years now. She gets lonely at times but she is very fortunate to have most of her children and grandchildren within a driving distance from where she lives in Kent, Washington to always cheer her up. She is a mother that probably most children and in-laws would ever want. She is very supportive and without her (and my dad) I probably wouldn't be where I'm at right now. She did a lot of sacrifice to have her children come before her. Being what she is, I guess it's all our Lord's decision that she is a very healthy woman. Her companions are my youngest brother, Manuel, and my daughter, Nicole. The one thing that is common about these three is that they all love to go shopping. In addition to shopping, my mom also enjoys cleaning out her house and spending time with her grandchildren.
The distance between my family may be far but there is always a place for them in my heart that always brings them closer to me. |
