I have been working in a telecommunications company abroad for seven years now. Each year I would pay my mother a visit in our hometown. I would file a 2-week vacation leave and be with my mom. Therefore it came a great shock to me when I learned that my mother was dead. And worse, she didn’t die a natural death, she was murdered. I filled for an immediate resignation and flew all the way back home. I want to nail down the culprit personally. When I reach our town, my mother’s corpse was still in the morgue, I arranged for the wake and keep in touch with the investigator. My mother was killed on her car in the basement parking of her condominium. The suspect was soon nailed down, the motive was burglary. He was sent to jail for first degree murder, life imprisonment with no bail. After the burial of my mother, there came the different debts and payables I needed to settle. Fortunately, my mother was insured and I have been declared as the sole heir on all her properties. But there are still a lot of debt to attend to. And since the work is too burdensome for me, I went to a debt consolidation and have them take care of the necessary payments. A debt consolidator was religiously updating me and offering his service. I am so glad that there are companies like them that can assist people like me during those difficult times in our lives. My mom’s credit cards were all delinquent, the phone bills, water and electric bills were all passed due and the interest of her payables were hideous.

The company made a bill consolidation on all her accounts and should be settled as soon as possible. I am still deeply grieving with the loss of my mother but I know that she wants me to go on and live a normal life. I have thought of appealing and have the assasin of my mother be hung. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But I also remembered that even mom would never want that. She had this passion for forgiveness which she always teach me. Now slowly, my life starts to be normal again though it will never be the same without my mother. A part of my inheritance was donated to a charity institution which my mom cared for so much when she was alive. I know someday, we will meet again but right now I have to learn to live alone in this world.
