Through Slippery Roads and Broken Roofs
How fast the days and nights are counting. Tonight my husband will be home again. Are you a parent that is already tired of the countless expenses, loans and personal problems. I am, but I'm not giving up for my family.
Two nights ago we experienced heavy rain inside our house. It was the saddest part of our summer. Aside from that our roof is already wrecked, and the rain keeps on pouring. Our house is already flooded with water. Last year, after Ria's birthday; May 31 the flood already entered our house without any storm. And now in the first week of May our life was already tragic.
This year was supposed to be full of hope. But if you remember my father-in-law rushing to the hospital you will understand why we still need to endure all these hardships. My sister-in-law lent all my husband's savings for this year. The exact amount was enough for us to have a second floor. And the worst is that she'll return abroad by July.
I can't help but tell him; we'll be like these till December. But he said no, then I did not answer. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't help but remember the painful athlete's foot, evacuating every now and then. I didn't take a picture of our house, I know you already used it too.
Last Sunday we went to my husbands aunt's house. A small gathering was held because it's the Fiesta in their place. Unexpectedly it rained! The road to our city is being repaired. The government is making it higher, so they add some soil. Because it's not yet cemented, it's slippery than ever. Me, my husband and Ria fall off on the motorcycle. But we're just slow so we didn't get hurt. But my husband sacrificed his knee because Ria was In front of the motorcycle. He got scratches so do I. But Ria was fine, that we ever wanted.
As we arrived at our aunt's house they lent Ria a dress because we're soaking wet. They feed us and let us dry, while my husband is busy drinking with her friends. Always smiling like nothing happened.
Hello @usagigallardo015 I feel you. I'm dealing with the same issue, too. Our kitchen roof is also leaking and I have been meaning to have it repaired but it's really difficult to make ends meet. Maybe I'm a little fortunate because it isn't raining hard in our place. We have a balanced weather - moderate rain and sun, enough to keep our vegetable garden thriving and yielding.
Sometimes, we just put buckets and basins to catch water from the leaking roof and we've become used to its sound, like music to our ears. š It becomes our lullaby rocking us to sleep. š
However, to temporarily solve the problem, I bought a multifunctional roof repair tape to minimize the leaking area. It works, and the leaking is not as huge as before. You may try using one in the meantime until you get enough savings for your roof repair. I hope everything's well with your family despite life's adversities. You can get through this, you can make it through the rain. Keep the faith and hope alongside hard work and perseverance. God bless you. ā¤ļøš
I am so sorry about the things you are going through now, but I believe that God usually gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers because he knows that you can deal with it. I am glad to know that you are never giving up; you shouldn't be. You've got a beautiful family and a beautiful daughter to think of. Think positively, don't lose hope, and always keep the faith in God, and you and your family will be okay. š ā¤ļø
Ohh no.. Good thing your daughter is fine.. and I hope that the road conditions will be better to avoid these kinds of accidents..
You're incredibly strong for pushing through all these challenges.. between the floods, the roof damage and the financial strain.. it's a lot to handle.. Just stay strong, and remember that you are not alone in this..
