Mo ni pinakacomplicated nga family situation ang lisud kaayo for the kids. Mao baya pud ni nahitabo sa akong lolo ug lola. In between their first child and second, napamabdosan sa ako lolo ang igsuon ni lola. My lola happened to come from a rich and known family in Negros pero after what happened she fought for her love sa ko lolo and they left Negros and left her share of the family wealth and inheritance.
The children were sheltered from the truth, diha na sila kahibalo college naman siguro sila. And I think it is just right, kay lisud kaayo ni nga sitwasyon, lisud sabton. Anyways, although ang mama sa manghod sa ako papa walay maayong tagad sa akong lola, at least ang mga anak eventually communicated and saw each other sometimes. So diha na silang mature na nakahibalo sa tinuod nga nahitabo. Now, that uncle of mine is an ortho in California, my papa also named his 4th son after him "Hector" that's my kuya. My lolo died still estranged from that son, I'm not sure kung nagkakita ba gyud to sila, I suspect they did but surely that son didn't go to his funeral.
