Top 10 in the list of the most handsome models. Zep Kleign Ocampo Cruz is the name but I’d rather chose to be called Zk Ocampo. And yes, I am a Fil-Am. My mother is a natural born citizen of this country and my father is an American. They met when my mom is working as a Domestic Helper in California. They raised me here in the Philippines. Six years of living here with my parents but after the car accident, dad passed away and because of what happened, mom didn’t accept the fact that her husband was already gone. Being a kiddo on that time, I just keep on crying because God took my dad. After several months of mourning… I noticed my mom, talking to herself, all alone. My aunt is with us and I asked her, “Auntie what’s happening to mom?”

She hugged me on that time. I don’t know what I should feel. My mom is getting unconscious of what she is doing. They put her in the hospital… and after a week of counseling it never happens to cure the pain she has when her love of her life left him. They put her in the mental hospital. I cried so much… I lost my dad, and now I’m losing my mom.

“God, why are you doing this to me?” A kid asking God… why?

Why for letting this happen?

Why taking dad’s life?

Why taking mom’s mind out of herself?

I grew up with my aunt. She loves me so much; I treated her like my real mom.

She thought me good things and never let me think that God is unfair.

When I was in High School, I graduated with an honor as a Salutatorian. This is for mom and dad. I may not be the Valedictorian but I’m still very blessed. That’s what I think of.

I was in my best friend’s house, enjoying life as a teen ager.  Then I got a call from my aunt saying,

“Your mom is now with your father”

After listening what she said, seems like my world fall apart.

I answered, “Auntie, tell me God knows about it.”

Do I have to blame God for all of these things? I thought God is watching all over us? Why do I have to lose both of them knowing that I love them both?

Yes, after a week of my graduation, mom took her own life by stabbing her own self with a sharp object.

Maybe, mom really wants to be with dad but how about me?
