Last April
19, 2013 Ate Josie allowed me to go with my Momma to the province to get my baptismal
certificate for my Passport Requirements. I need this certificate because I
want to go to Africa to be a missionary there.
I was so
happy for this, you know why? For 19 years I’ve been waiting to see my
grandmother and especially see my real Dad. I did not expect that I will have a
chance to see them when I go there with my Momma. While we are in the bus I was
thinking what I would do if I saw my real Dad and I was very nervous because I
didn’t know if he would accept me being his daughter.
When we arrived
at the house of my grandma I knocked on the door and an old girl opened the
door for us. When she saw me she immediately hugged me and started crying. She
told me “I’m your grandma” then we entered her house and began talking; I asked
to my grandma “Is my Dad is here?” then she told me “I’m sorry but your Dad is
not here, he’s in the other place with his new family.” When I heard that from
my grandma I was shocked and sad because for 19 years I had been waiting to be
complete in our family. I told myself that it would never happen, but for me it
is ok if my Dad has new a family, I just want to hug him, call him “Papa” and
to tell him that I miss him so much.
My Momma
told me the reason we are not with my Dad for 19 years is because my ma’am
broke up my Dad. My Dad killed my twin that’s the reason why my Momma broke up with
my Dad. Even though my Dad did that before, I still love him and I already
forgive him for what he did to my twin. I am always asking myself “why do we
need to forgive people that did something wrong to us?” It is because our God
forgives us in all our sins and also the bible tells us in Matthew 6:14-15 “For
if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not
forgive your sins.”
