Angel-hearted woman

She is a woman with 2 sons who have been abandoned by her husband since their second child was a toddler in the 1980s.
She was a woman who never complained about her way of life which must have been considered difficult by those who saw her at that time.
Her husband, who has been enjoying his life with other women in the land of windmills, never wants to know anything about their news.


Is she sad about that?
Is she hurt by that?
Is she demanding her child's rights?


Most of us (women) would answer YES to the question above.

But what about HER????

She's the one I said Great Woman.
There was not the slightest bit of anger in her heart even though her husband never said hello to her children or herself even though it was via email.
There was never the slightest desire to demonize her husband in front of their children when the cute boys began to often ask where their papa was.
She never tried to claim the rights of her and her child since she was just ignored by her husband.


Why can? What is she doing ????

Yes, she can because she believes that her GOD is Extraordinary
She believes that everything that happens is the best of God
She always tries her best for her children without asking for the slightest help from anyone.
She did not ask for an inheritance from her parents even though in fact if she told the problem, her parents would certainly accept it gracefully and would be able to provide for the three of them, because her parents are rich people in Jakarta. But she never did that.


Then WHAT did she DO?

She prayed, tried, prayed, tried, and so on.
She is not ashamed to migrate and work in USA as a domestic helper to earn extra money. Although in the end she chose to return to Indonesia because the contract promised and the work she had to do was not in accordance with what was written in the work agreement.
.
She returned to Indonesia for his children who were starting college.
She needs big funds? YES
Does her husband know about that? DON'T KNOW (and I don't think the man wants to know).
But she never made a big deal about it. In her mind, she was just determined to work hard for her children's education and future.
And by the 2000, the first child had graduated from college, she was relieved because there was only one left who still needed money. It helped her a little because her first child had started working in a place that could be considered good for a fresh graduate.


And God's Promises are always REAL (I believe that too)
When her first child got married, he invited the father and his woman, with a strong belief that the father would definitely come because this is a happy day for him in particular and the extended family of course.
Did he come? Apparently not
And the mother can only try to calm her eldest child with words that are still without the slightest bit of hatred in her heart. "Be patient, papa may not come maybe because he has a lot of work that papa can't leave"

In fact, there are women as strong as her. Until she succeeded in instilling things that were always good in her children.
BECAUSE OF WHAT?
Because she was the one who always said papa had not come home because he was still working hard for our future when her son was young.
And she who can talk is another woman in papa's photo because papa is not happy with mom when her child reaches adulthood and asks who the woman is on her papa's social media.
And because she was also the one who could wisely convey that "papa didn't come to your wedding because papa was busy with his work so he couldn't take time off to come here" when his children were disappointed because on their happy day, his papa was still absent so they had to be represented by their uncle to replace his papa.

Today, in her 70s, she is still the GREAT WOMEN that I know.
She never wanted to remarry and her status until now was still "wife" to her husband because in the religion she believed to be married was only once until the death 💙💙


Nor does she complain (at this time) over the treatment of her second daughter-in-law who is a little less gentle with her.
She always grateful, without the slightest protest to God.
She got through every problem stage in her life with patience and gratitude.
And that is the KEY OF HAPPINESS that she always tells me, even though I am someone else who is present in her life.

Grateful, grateful and grateful. Have we been grateful today? 😇😇😇

Hope it is useful.
