Under One Roof

I don’t like it when one of my siblings or my dad gets upset over something. I don’t like it at all! Today, my dad got so disappointed with someone from Hazel’s family. He arrived home from Baclaran church. He saw Hazel sitting on the lap of a boy from the neighbor. He called her to go home but that someone from her family was just looking at my dad like it’s none of his business that she’s at a neighbor’s house at 7 in the morning. That neighbor has 5 sons. We are not being malicious but Hazel is a cute little girl. You do not want your girl to be going inside your neighbor’s house with boys, right? But no! That someone from her family kept on insisting that Hazel visit that house all the time! They’re not related, by the way.

When I woke up around 10AM, my dad ranted about it. He was so disappointed with that family member and with Hazel. He wants to “return” Hazel to her family already. I don’t really know if we can pull it off, though.

You see, we are so attached with her already. She’s been living with us for almost 2 years now. We’ve been taking care of her, making sure that no harm comes to her. But with an irresponsible mother, a kunsintidor for a grandma…

I am trying to find in myself a resolve to let Hazel go back to her family. That’s probably for the best.
