I am the second of four siblings. My oldest sister Mellany has four girls, me I have 2 boys and a girl, my sister Grace have 2 girls and 3 boys. And then my baby sister, Michelle, have a baby boy named Nathan.

Michelle is a single parent. I never imagined that she will end up this way. I always pictured her doing the right thing and walk down the aisle pretty and all. But she fell inlove with the wrong guy, and he broke not only her heart but of the whole family. I don’t know how someone turns his back to a very gentle person like my sister and a very cute little angel like Nathan. I was angry before, but now I feel sorry for this man.

I have seen my sister cry a river, but I also saw her become into someone that I did not expect her to be, a loving and responsible mother. I know how difficult it is not having someone in tow, to provide not only materially, but to support her and the baby emotionally.  And because of this absence, she is forced to do what is best for her and Nathan. She applied for a job abroad to be able to support Baby Nate.

Today, 10am, she started a new chapter in her life. She went to the airport alone. She said that it’ll be much easier for her that way. But I know she left knowing that we will take care of Nathan for her. For 10 mos she’ll be in a cruise ship. I know that it’ll gonna be hard for her, but I hope and pray that she will find peace of mind the soonest.

She may not know this, but I am very proud of her. She came out as a very strong woman and very responsible mother to Nate, out of all that happened. I am proud of you my baby sister, very proud.

Take care of yourself Michelle…
