A New Beginning
With that decision, Miguel brought his father to live with him and his wife, Anna, in their modest Quezon City home. It was a significant change, but Miguel was determined to care for his father and repay the debt.
From that day forward, Miguel worked tirelessly. By day, he was a construction engineer, and by night, he drove a delivery truck, often returning home well past midnight. Their meals were simple—mostly dried fish and boiled vegetables—but Miguel never complained. He found joy in caring for his father and providing for his family, even when the days were long and exhausting.
Anna, understanding the gravity of their situation, joined Miguel in his efforts. She sold her new motorcycle and opened a small café in front of their home, serving coffee and pastries to the local community. Together, they worked side by side, balancing responsibilities while nurturing their love.
Miguel often watched Anna serve customers with a smile, even when fatigue weighed heavily on her. Every time he saw her exhausted yet radiant at Father Ramón, he silently wiped away his own tears, grateful for her unwavering support.
