Two days ago, my wife informed me that the house in front our house was being expanded, which would likely narrow the access way to our house. This was sad news because our house is located in the middle of other people's houses.
A few months earlier, a high wall had been built on the empty land behind our house, set aside only about half a meter of access from the back. We often use the front access road, but it turns out that the house in front is also building a wall that almost completely blocks access to our house.
I feel like I'm the main character in a soap opera with a story about a house trapped among other houses. I'm sad, not for myself, but for my wife and kid. I haven't been able to think clearly about what steps to take because, until now, moving is not an option. The mortgage on the house still has three years left, while our savings are far from enough to buy a new house.
I sit in the corner of the room, thinking about all the waves of life that keep crashing in, but as long as I’m still breathing, I have to keep my knees strong to stand and be there for my wife and children. They deserve a better life.
Oh God, forgive your servant.
