Unexpected event that changed my Life
Sometimes things happen in the lives of people that they have no control over. When these things happen I call them life experiences, and they often leave people muttering the words "Why me?" From time to time, actions of others affect my own. Other times, an act of irresponsibility and immaturity on people’s part could cause life changing events on our loved ones and on us. From bad events, I have learned; that they do not necessarily lead to misery. They may lead to good only if you work for it.

I missed going out with friends. Work and school kept me from being with them because I had to go home to take care of my son after work, and after school ended. Oftentimes, homework had to be done late at night because my child’s needs had to be met first. My personal life had to be placed on hold. Seeing my son grow was a joy. The challenges I meet every day have helped me become a better person, a better mother. My mother understands what I am going through.

When he was born, that person was a part of our lives, but slowly he became a stranger. This person had seen Ali when he was born. The first time Ali saw his dad was when his dad came back from Mexico. He had gone to Mexico to find work, but ended up coming back to San Francisco. At this time Ali was 2 years old. The second time he saw his dad was when they were doing a supervised visit, my mom had agreed to take on the responsibility and supervise them. The last time Ali saw his dad, was when this person disrespected Ali and I in an unfortunate turn of events. Since then we have not seen him. My son, now eight , has only seen his father three times.
Every day as I look at him, I am glad his father is not around because we both deserve to be treated better. There are so many thoughts that come to my mind when thinking about this situation. Does he miss his son? Does he have regrets of abandoning his son? Does he think of looking for his son? It is unimaginable how the father of my child can live with himself and wake up every morning knowing he has a son yet knows nothing about
