Sukanya Miguel and Jum open up about reducing their status to just friends! But they still live in the same house. He shed tears in the “Daddy’s Boy” video call and waited more than 50 years
“Sukanya Miguel” Today I want to open my heart for the first time. After waiting over 50 years to find my birth father until I succeeded, I thank myself that I did not commit suicide that day in order to meet my birth father today. Are you ready to reveal the face of a 70-year-old American father for the first time, who is preparing to move with his son to America permanently? Is it true that the relationship between husband and wife has ended? Gom is already gone. Through the program “Kuay Zaap Show” on Channel 1 31 with Benz Poornchita and Bom Supaporn as presenters.
Have you met your father?
Miguel: Actually, I've seen my father for about 3 years, which means I haven't seen him since I was born. I looked for my father until I found him. It's something God gave us, and it took us 50 years to find it. We know we have a father. It did not come out of the bamboo tube. But I don't know what his father's name is. I don't know what kind of race we are. I had never seen my father's face before. My face looks like someone else's face.
The second: Did you know that this man is really our father?
Miguel: There are a lot of people. You can go and search, and you'll quickly find every one of them in a similar style, and then you'll receive confirmation from your stepsister that this is your father. We have lived with our grandparents since we were little. P'Gail was born in Rayong. The mother was whisked away and escaped from Rayong Hospital. Because there was no money to pay for the birth my mother took me to Nakhon Sawan with my grandparents when I was a child. My grandmother also asked who is my father, where is my father, what is his foreign face, who is my father? Grandmother said that my father was a foreigner, not a mangosteen, and he did not know how to answer. I just know that your nose is like your father's. Your nose doesn't look like your mother's, that's all, and I don't really know about the other parts. Because there really is no such thing as my father.
Is there a problem with your heart?
Miguel: When they made fun of us because we were orphans. Or he teases that he is a child who has no father or mother. After the Vietnam War the half breeds were definitely orphans, but there was a time when they were 5-6 years old when it became clear that they wanted to be found, Grandma told them they had parents. But he wasn't there. We went to look for the picture that was in my mother's box. Which one should be my father? There are a lot of foreigners. Every one of them is my mom's friend. We don't know which is which anymore. It's as if something is telling us. It was a Christmas card from my mother in Italy. It is an image of Jesus and there is a voice. It's as if someone said it was okay. This person is also the father. So it got warm inside. I don't feel like I miss my father. Because we see God as our Father.
One of the questions I have been searching for since childhood is, when I become 50 years old and meet my father, will the problem disappear?
Miguel: Before, he was a child who didn't know where his family came from. Children who don't know who their parents are just want to know that peace of mind will be achieved. But like P'Gail we are lucky to live with ancestors but there is a feeling that we are rootless. We don't know who he is or how lost he looks. One day I realized he wasn't lost yet. He was still alive and then I knew he was ready to meet us. You always want to see us It's as if his heart is full of cracks, it's all so tender. Bigil always says family is the source of strength. It's a feeling of accomplishment, it's not broken, it's warm inside. Some children blame themselves for not wanting us in this world. This word is harsh. When people know that children are orphans, the first thing they should not do is tell them that their parents were. You should not ask questions about the whereabouts of your parents. Or if you are an orphan and have orphan friends, you should not ask where the roots of the era are. Because those things become stabbing needles. Because he doesn't know how to find the answer. Because he himself did not know the answer.
Was there a time when Brother Gale wanted to leave this world as well?
Miguel: Yes, several times. Because I feel like I don't want to take care of myself, I don't love myself, I feel unwanted. There is no need to take care of yourself. It's as if we're the only thing no one wants. So we don't love ourselves. I have been accumulating on myself since adolescence, the last time was before the divorce. This is the last time
How can you come back?
Miguel: When you're going to do it. There is often a reason or someone who comes along to warn us to look at something differently, to make suggestions, or to shift our thoughts. I don't know who sent it either. The other thing is that there will be a voice in your head saying there is something unresolved yet. It needs to be done. I don't know what it is. It's strange, as if there is something waiting for me that is not yet complete. not now
I have to thank myself for not leaving this world. Otherwise I won't be able to see my parents?
Miguel: Yes, if you decide or don't listen to anything at that time. Stubborn to go there would be no chance like this. There will be two regrets for your child. With people who love us so much with the idea that we don't love ourselves, that's it.
Glad today I met my father too. Many people ask if we don't know who our family is. And we want to go find it. The starting point is the search for the father. How did you find that?
Miguel: At first, I thought we would never meet again in this life. Maybe we don't have any factors to look for. Because I don't know the name, I don't know my last name, I don't have a photo, and I thought I would ask about the US Veterans Administration. But we don't have a picture. Everything zeroed in until the year my son was born. He had wavy hair, not like ours. We were like, “Who does this baby look like?” I wonder like our father. I called and spoke to my mother in Italy and said, Callie, did my father give us a name or something like that, and my mother said no, it's a nickname. At the time, there was Google, so I looked it up and just said my last name. Of Irish origin only now I know the roots. Just that makes me happy. I wasn't going to research to the point of doing a DNA test. The story is about getting married to P'Jom in the year 2019. P'Jom and P'Gail have the same mother's name so we have to first prove whether they are siblings or not. There is also an older sister missing. Now I've found it too. Do a DNA test in the same lab as well (laughs).
When they got married, they first checked to make sure they weren't siblings. So you went for a DNA test?
Miguel: Yes, a friend from America brought boxes of DNA tests to resell, we bought two boxes, spit on them and the friend carried them to send them to America. Since this lab doesn't ship to Asia, we waited almost two weeks and the results came back for P'Jom Salivai (laughs), and the results didn't come back, but the results for P'Gail came back in a rage. Our DNA matched a lot of people, over 19,000 people, and our DNA matched our family tree. It has roots from our relatives, and it turns out there are many names. But we don't know which one. There will be a note, Michael Kim Callie's name, under which you will write that if you are not a parent, you are a child. That's it, I think that's it.
Do you want to contact me?
Miguel: No, I don't dare call you. I don't know if he's ready to meet us or not. Because most of the American soldiers who came had a child without expecting that they would have one. Everyone has their own problems. When he turned back the only thing I knew was that he wasn't dead yet. We didn't dare call him and say I was there. Go call your grandson. Go there (laughs) and tell me that's my name. Living in this country I assume you are related to me? In short, the younger sister is the daughter of different parents. Write in this message lab. I think you and I should be relatives. I'm so glad we met my sister. Then write to me that I have this address, this email, this Facebook, let's wait and see if he's interested in talking to us. It turned out that the younger sister called me again, and it was a long conversation with the younger sister for one year, and the father did not have an email address. I'm an old person. My father doesn't use a cell phone. Very anti-tech When my sister visited we asked her if she had told him she had met me yet. Her younger sister and younger brother did not dare to talk to their father about this matter.
Because not everyone has heard from the father that he has a child living in Thailand. Foreigners respect each other. If you don't open it, he won't dare. He considers this a very personal matter. The younger sister thought that maybe her father didn't want to hear it, maybe he forgot about it or not. A year later, her younger brother left. This time, try to tell your father that you met me. It seemed like it was gone immediately. My sister-in-law said I heard him say he didn't want to talk about it. Anger rose. We must talk. I asked to stay with my sister-in-law. Submitted as an article You can get the book. I would like to tell you everything I have in my private life. Finally, if you don't want to talk about these things, that's okay with me. But don't say it's your fault until you die. Because what happened is not your fault. Please just know this. Then my stepmother contacted me via Facebook.
Today you will hear the voice and face of Miguel's father at the same time. Father on the line?
Michael: Hey, it's late here.
What was the first day you talked to your child?
Michael: I'm very glad and I'm afraid we didn't grow up together.
How do we prepare to meet each other?
Michael: I can't wait (Dad says he can speak a little Thai).
Miguel: (wiping away tears)
Is there anything you want to say to Brother Miguel?
Michael: He's an important person, and he's looking forward to 50 years, too.
Father was also looking for Brother Miguel, and has been following him for 50 years?
Michael: Yes, and it's difficult.
Miguel's father now plans for Miguel's son to have a school there. Will Grandpa allow Brother Miguel and his son to live there, and is he willing to wait and do his best for his grandson?
Miguel: Be prepared to wait more than a year.
Michael: Really (speaking Thai)
Does Tanya want to go?
Tanya: I want to go, I want to see my grandfather.
Michael: I want to see you soon.
Tanya: I really want to hug you.
Michael: You have to have long arms (laughs).
What do you want to tell your father?
Miguel: If we go, we'll be together forever until our last breath. Foreigners don't think like us. But Thai people think this way. The first word I was waiting for instead of an explanation of this and that. Send a voice clip to say hello. Brother Gale was in tears. That he was here He stayed for a long time, he came when he was 18-19 years old, and he stayed with Jill's mother for a long time. While Beagle was in his mother's womb for 6 months, he was called back. He returned the items because he knew he had a child. But during that period, Thailand had already eliminated its military bases. So I couldn't go back.
Are you thinking of moving permanently?
Miguel: P'Gail is Thai. Now I have dual citizenship, Thai and American, and this is my mother's land. This is my father's land. Maybe it's like this.
This time we'll be there together, like in the drama?
Miguel: Also dirty water before the DNA test. We tried to find Cali, if we looked for him and he was no longer alive like many parents, that would be a tragedy. But at least to know who he is, Brother Gale believes that even if he is no longer in this world, Brother Gale will go find him in the hole. If he's not alive, you have to go see him. But it's better now. Because he is still alive and very strong. I know he didn't go because he didn't want me. As if I felt since I was little that he never left us.
Recently, P'Miguel and P'Jom broke up?
Miguel: He didn't quit.
What's the situation?
Miguel: We don't have the same registration as men and women. We didn't break up, but we downgraded our status from lovers to friends as before. But we are still the same family. Living in the same house everything stays the same.
Jom: If you cry, please dry the tears. It's as if we've seen Miguel's life from the beginning until now. Chum feels like he was a friend at first and then became a lover. When we become lovers, we suddenly become unlovable, we are good at being curious. One day, it's like a puzzle put together.
Miguel: We try not to let it break. It's better than pulling the case aside. So we hate each other, that's his idea. When they are a couple, everyone has different expectations. He expected Brother Gale to be sweeter. Because I'm usually a stubborn person. Brother Gale expected that she would be as organized as I was. When we keep expecting too much, there will only be negatives, we don't want them to be negative. Because we intend to be a family forever. We have restored our friend's status.
Jum: We're best friends now.
Miguel: As friends, we allow you to make mistakes.
Let each other be independent. Including if there are other people?
Miguel: I really want him to have it. Everyone wants the other person to have it.
Jom: Actually, Jom doesn't want to have one, but I want him to be happy.
Miguel: B-Jom thinks so much that I will go there with my son.
Living together, but we think that if we are independent when we are apart from each other, we won't have to worry. But are we always ready to be here waiting?
JM: Yes, family is great. Once you become friends no more jealousy it's love that wants to see you happy, it seems so good (laughs). Even today when you're friends, you dare to talk, you dare to shout, but he's cute.
Miguel: When P'Jom asked to be friends. Bigil asked why. When I asked why, he said there was only one thing I wouldn't accept. It is to ask to leave the family after all, it must be the same family. Other than that, I accept everything.
JUM: We will take care of each other until we grow old.
What day is tomorrow?
Miguel: He's been with Ma Mei for 15 years. Tomorrow is Thania's birthday (the program presents a cake for Nong Thania). They are fully conscious. Every year the child grows, the child gradually becomes an adult. You don't have to worry about having to take care of Ma Mei. The main thing I want is for you to take care of your life in order to survive. To be able to fight with the future world
Chom: I hope your child will be strong, both physically and mentally, have worldly and religious wisdom, and be a good child.
