#5 My Hero, My Nanay

There is no exact word to describe how good she was to me. She treated me like her own daughter even though she hasn’t had one. She’s like a mother and a sister to me. She had been our family maid for 2 decades already. She had been the nanny of my aunts and my two brothers but now she’s already our family maid. My Nanay was so generous even though her money or budget was enough for her daily need she always give or share it to the one who are needed.  Although my Nanay always “patad swetress” but she never spend a lot of money for it. She never forgets her priorities and that’s her family. She is the breadwinner of her family and because of that she never had a husband. My Nanay was the only member of her family that never got married.

            7 years ago when I was still in my 5^th grade she always brought me to school. Even if  before I don’t really like to wake up early but she always patiently go to my room and serve as my alarm clock even though  I always scold her because of that, She never get angry at me.  She also serves as my personal chief because she knew all my favourite food, desert, and etc.  One time my classmates surprisingly visit me home. I never knew that they were coming but fortunately my Nanay was so generous he bought snacks and drinks for my classmates and we totally enjoyed our day. I treated my Nanay as my own family and as my best friend she always gave me advice. I’ve totally appreciated all the good deeds she did to me. One time when forgot my book in English and that book contains my assignment I really don’t know what to do so I hurriedly call and ask somebody to get my book. But our place was many miles away from my school. And that time I was scold by my mother, luckily my Nanay volunteered to get my book.  It did not happen once but so many times already. 

            I was still in my 4^th year in high school when Nanany Virgy left me. She went home because her mother was seriously sick and nobody can take care of her mother because all of her siblings had their own family already. My Nanay was so sad when she left me she said that she will cherish and treasured all the moment the moments that we were together. And after a week I had decided to change my dull attitude not for me but for my Nanay. The Nanay that forever be my 2^nd mother and my best friend.
