♥ a WantOn sOul's Journey On planet eArth ♥

♥   This is an account of a soul's life personally prepared after spending sixty-six summers of mingling with the living. The flooding of mix emotions: mainly painful ones has given birth to the penning of this piece.  I  was borne and raised from a normally god fearing family. Though our's is relatively poor, my parent's did their part well of raising us and did their utmost role, to make us in a clan of seven children have a happy childhood days. All of us are now professionals in their own field. But being the only son perhaps, has made mine a carefree go lucky being, unable to define the ultimate objectives of living.    I was married defying the wishes of my parent's and sister's , at the age of 25 already an engineer. As far as I understand they were sensing so many negative feelings against my wife.But being stubborn, I went on doing my own thing-live alone with my own family and new totally forgetting my own biological siblings. Naturally my parents and sisters started learning to place me in oblivion. After three years of being a family man, little by little the seven year itch, is starting to be felt.  After ten long years of a rather miserable life, I had a son and a daughter who are now professionals on their own fields. The education of my children were totally nurtured by my biological parents, sisters and me, since from the first day my eldest daughter was ready for her schooling period, my wife was no longer with us.  In February of 1981, devastations & hell broke loose within this doomed marriage. From 1981 to 2008 I went on an uncharted ways of living. I am temporarily settled with my new found family having two daughters. My two previous children are already settled and with a family of their own. But being in the twilight zone of my life. I am now living with all the " amenities and perks " of pain and agony of aging. Presently, nearing the finish line, hopefully death could finally give my battered soul the needed peace and rest.  As an addendum to the above it, necessitates me to add further, that maybe, this is god's way of reprimanding a wanton stubborn soul. Hopefully a lesson then can be learned for those who wishes to travel a well coursed & route.
