Anonymous asked: Thank you. It saddens me that Manong thinks he's a burden. I feel that is because, in our modern culture, many have forgotten our ways of tribal living. Traditionally, Manong as an elder, would be revered in his community because of his wisdom and experience. That is where he would be taking care of us. He would be involved and not a burden. Respect Our Elders. Thank you again.
Amen!! Please keep in mind though that with this story, his family has come forward and told me their side, so they have never abandoned him.. they just have a conflict with manong’s new family and that is why they can never talk to each other properly. Manong also never told his family of his conditions here in Guam. they all thought he was still working at payless.
