i told myself i won't share this story if i still didn't recover from it.....
i told myself i won't shed a tears anymore remembering/sharing this story.....


it was during my fourth year in high school.... graduation day is near....
im so proud that i belong to the topnotchers and will receive academic medals and recognitions...
ever since elementary... my parents have no problem in my schooling..... financially or morally....
i'm a consistent scholar...

but....

the day before the graduation day.... we discovered that mom has a third party.....
that night my father decided to return her home to grandma back to manila....

i attended my graduation day all alone.... no parents.... no siblings....
all the medals and certificate were useless... i dedicated it to them but none of them was there...
do you know what's the saddest part of that day?

part of the commencement program is to look for your parents.... hug and kiss them... and tell thank you for everything....

i saw all my classmates.... exchanging kisses and hugs with their family....

all i did is run to our classroom.... and cried silently....
