Another thing, this story is only my interpretation to the song. This doesn't mean that the singer or the song writer had already experienced this. Just to make it clear, ayaw ko ng issue mga bebs.
Erydjza is "E-ry-za." This name came from my cousin BiggyBear_ and user43217487 na may sinusulat din pong story. Though, uncompleted pa kaya I suggest you to read her story and upcoming stories. Magaling po siyaaa! Just click her usernames if you're interested. Thank youuu! Mwaaa!
Italized words are lyrics hihe. Play the song for better reading.

I went up to the stage alone, with no parent beside me. It's alright, I'm used to it. Everyone knows that my parents aren't always around.
Lalo na si Papa na nasa langit na. Si mama... May ibang pamilya na.
Ako na ang tumayong magulang simula nung umalis si mama at lumipad sa ibang bansa para magtrabaho.
Sa tuwing may gantong event, ako ang magsasabit ng medalya saking mga kapatid. Si Erika na grade 9 na at si Erin na grade 6 pa lang.
Today is my moving up ceremony. I'm finally a shs student. Onting tiis nalang at makapag-college na ko.
Niyakap ko ang mga kapatid ko pagkababang-pagkababa ko sa stage ngunit ikinabigla ko nang makita ko ang pinakasusuklaman kong tao.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Hindi ba pwedeng bisitahin ang mga anak ko?" Inilahad niya pa ang mga kamay niya, inaasahan niya atang yayakapin ko siya.
"You should have done that before." Malamig kong tugon.
Umalis si mama para matugunan ang pangangailangan namin. Tanggap ko yon. Kahit na palaging umiiyak ang mga kapatid ko at kinakailangan kong magpakatatag kahit ako mismo ay napapagod at nahihirapan na. Naiintindihan ko siya. Noong una.
