Junior

I am an American ex-pat living in the Philippines. It strikes the cords of my heart whenever I see our Junior helping his Mom and me – his old Dad. Yesterday while Beng was away tending to some business for a few hours I became very sick and headed to bed with stomach pains. He stayed with me in the darken bedroom until his Mom came home to take charge. Some of his classmates call Junior “a Mommy’s Boy.” Since I cannot help much any longer he does what he can with his Mom, whether it’s marketing or doing everyday chores that I can’t help. He stands up to plate like a young man that he is.
