Actually, my mom never told me anything about that other girl until I visited a decade after I returned here. Of course, I never told my mom I already had someone else in mind prior to that visit.
So, we kinda surprised each other.
My mom is very stubborn. I have her blood. So, I'm just as stubborn as she is. You could say neither one of us gave way. So, there went 19 years wasted.
My mom finally accepted my wife. But, she still refers to her as
Bisaya.
"Say hello to Bisaya for me."
I wish she's more forgiving. But, that's the best I can force her to be.
She'll love her youngest granddaughter. She's a spitting image of her and has her temper too.
