On this day let me tell you a story... a short story (I will try as much as possible! I'm really gonna try!).

"Once upon a time, a beautiful baby was born with small eyes and reddish skin crying into the night as her mother lay her close singing lullabies to hush her down while her father was away - out late, hopefully, winning a match at a drag race. He had yet to find out that his baby was born and that his life was bound to change for ever. Father then came home with a big victorious grin on his face with a stash of cash in his pocket ready to spend with drunk-thirsty friends, but when he got into the room and saw the sleeping angel all that he could think of was how to begin and just make things right.

So the baby awoke to a world of a princess. Everyone would do as she would ask them to do and everyone adored her like a goddess. She was the most amazing thing that ever happened to her parents. Father changed, mother became somewhat contented. And the years went by so fast, three more kids were born and they continued to live a blissful life like princes and princesses never knowing what lay behind the radiant smile that their father bore and kept. The children were rather oblivious of late night quarrels from the other chamber -- they were made to believe those were shouts of joy and bursts of laughter. It really wasn't. Late night drives were traumatizing and tragic: Mother is too quiet with a creased forehead and pouted lips; Father begins to shout and attempts to hit the car in front; The children cry. But it seemed repairable so with their lives they went on.

Until one night destroyed it all with just a swig of rum. Father was accused of a crime he swore to all of the dwellers of the heavens he never really did, but no one actually believed. It was a downfall of a king and every townsman's back has turned away from him, none of them could look at him in the eye. All his darkness was brought into a light shaming the rest of his clan and even the love of his lovely daughters and son. But wife went on believing him; giving him even more love and attention than he was supposed to. Some strange phone calls connect through home and threats of a mistress their Father never told and a kid on the way. Heartbreaks burst. The kids' minds were in a chaos. Emotionally battered as their friends have also already abandoned them.

They grew up without their Father or rather saw him on and off as he wasn't allowed at the time to be hanging out the streets. It was a sad plight for such beautiful creatures. They lived and survived through prayers. And realize through that hardship how important trust and love is in the family and most importantly God who sees everything; who consoles everyone in the weakest of times. That one part of their lives may have been very difficult and challenging but it has molded them into very strong persons capable of living without depending on the aid of others."
