Remembering A Sad Past

Posted by admin . Filed under Musings | 1 Comment

My father-in-law is a skilled man. He hasn’t finished any formal education but he is able to fix any automobile and build machines related to any agricultural industry. When my husband and I were still in college, they had a place somewhere in Agora Market in Cagayan de Oro where they build and sell agricultural machines.

Since the place the rented is very accessible, they business was a boom. Unfortunately, the owner of the place ended the rent abruptly since they have no formal contract. So my father-in-law decided to bring the business at their home’s backyard.

The business went well to worst. They have lost a lot of clients because the owner of the place they rented did not inform the customers instead he took them in. Why? Because he copied my father-in-laws business. What a bummer!

Then in later years, I saw my father-in-law sold all his machines from his mig welder, hydraulic compressors and many others. He was forced to do this since two of his children were still striving to finish college and his eldest son was reviewing for the board exam at that time.

It was really sad to see their business go down but still God have proven to be a good provider for them. Now, he has a small business selling small agricultural machines in the mountainous area of Claveria, Bukidnon. Small but enough to survive.
