A Different Kind of Summer

Summer is here once again! I know Macky is so excited about summer because aside from the usual summer activities he does with his friends; his father is also planning a vacation for him in Cagayan de Oro. As much as I want to, I also wish Macky would enjoy his vacation doing his usual activities but I believe this summer is a little bit different from the past.

Macky needs to take a few summer classes this time. I have to admit that his public school stay was not as fruitful as expected so for him to be able to proceed to the next level this coming school year, it is a must for him to take summer lessons on several subjects.

For this summer, I have enrolled him in a private school and negotiated a few conditions with the school principal where I intend to enroll him this coming school year. And because of his performance in the public school, I am now decided to transfer him back into a private institution. The tuition fees may hurt his father’s pocket but I think that is the better option for Macky right now.

This may be a different kind of summer for Macky but I do hope he will appreciate it and hopefully do better with his lessons this time.

Macky Is On Vacation at General Santos City

Aside from the summer break, one of the most anticipated vacation from school is the semestral break which is usually scheduled during All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Macky usually spends semestral  breaks here at home playing basketball or hanging out with his neighbor friends but this time, he opted to spend it with his mom at General Santos City.

He was so excited about the idea of spending his break with his mom and cousins in Gensan that is why he initiated to coordinate with his grandmother first without letting his father know about it. Macky's father did not approve the idea of the GenSan vacation but since his grandmother is already on her way to fetch Macky the day he asked permission, my brother did not have any choice but to allow Macky to go with his grandma.

Macky chillin' with his mom...

Despite his parent's situation, Macky is trying to live a normal life and as a good son to them.  At his age, he understood the kind of life they have as family and although, he may not approve it, he have already learned to accept  the fact that they have to live separately. He still dreams of reuniting his parents in the future but he knows that it will happen in God's perfect time.

I haven't heard from Macky since the day he went for vacation last week and as much as possible, I also do not want to bother him. The house is quiet without him and we missed him already. We are so excited to see him again a few days from now. I know he has a lot of exciting stories to tell about his vacation and the grand time he spent with his mom and his cousins.
