Yaya
Your yaya has a family. Be grateful because she treats you like her own
Ate Connie is my yaya. She has worked with our family for 20 years now, and has raised a daughter living in Miag-ao, Iloilo remotely. Ate Connie has sacrificed much for the people she loves. Sometimes I wonder if she feels lonely, or if she misses her own family. But she stayed with us, and I grew up in her care.
“Why did you stay all those years?”
“I stayed all these years because the family that took me in treated me as if I was a part of their own.”
