Coping Up With Defeat

     Have you heard the story of Prophet Samuel? (from the Book of 1 Samuel in the Bible). There is where I got the idea of calling my son, Samuel- meaning, I asked for him from the Lord.   But the story of Hanna, Prophet Samuel's mother was far the same with my own life's story. Perhaps, mine was just like Mary Magdalene's.

     Sam is not a disgraced son. I, indeed cannot accept if ever I hear from anybody calling him as 'son of a worm'. I can't even call his dad a 'bitch'. I am, as a matter of  fact, thankful to his father because he left me with this handsome, smart and precious child. Sam is my strength, the very reason why I am determined to set my mind from being FAILURE to a SUCCESSFUL one.
