Hi everyone. This my first contest that I will be joining and I really love to also share my life experience. Thank you @cherylsonty for this contest because it makes me see the beauty of things that surround me. Being an only kid, I grew up with just my mom, since my mom and dad are separated. But I was the first grandson,the first nephew and the only son and all the attention is in me. My mom,grandma and aunts are very generous to me, giving me everything. But not literally everything I mean. They showered me with love and helped my mom in raising me. Though I seldom see my dad, deep inside me, I still miss him. During my growing years, somehow, I longed to be with my dad. My mom sometimes permits me to be with my dad even for a few days during vacations and somehow, I get to be with him for a short while. I still thank God though my family is not perfect because as I realize how much they love me, its all that matters to me. I may not have the perfect life but I am grateful for the family that surrounds me with their love, I am grateful to my grandma or my "mamang" as I fondly call her for guiding me and always reminding me to always seek the Lord, for my Papa Bert and Tita Thess, Tito @rogeliojr and Tita @ajasmin14 for always being there for me and to my mom, who is always beside me.

I have friends who are there to support and encourage me and always tells me to go on, rise above the challenges and make it to the top.

And most of all, I am grateful to God for his endless love and grace to me. I believe that God has plans for me and I know that as I continue to serve him, He will continue to lead me. My life is a series of ups and downs but even though I made mistakes in the past, God always forgives. His mercy and grace abounds in me. God bless everyone!!!
Thanks for dropping by!!!
