Until it Comes to You

At the very beginning of this story the speaker is broken hearted over her first love. I believe everyone goes through a moment like this one when it seems like there is no hope. The touching point is when she is so upset she leaves to go back to Manila where she was born. Some of her family has not seen her in 20 years yet they accept her with open arms. This is what family is. It is acceptance without question. In the Filipino culture people are big on family ties which shows in this story.
