That money should mean so much….
I’m so earnestly sorry I cannot give my kids all that they want for Christmas. I was raised with everything I wanted, and I hoped to give them the same, to spoil them. I cannot. My husband left two years ago, and I have been struggling to support me and the boys ever since. They are good kids and are grateful for whatever I can afford for them, but they see the difference between themselves and their friends and cousins. They hold their heads up and that, too, breaks my heart. That money should mean so much, should mean everything in this world overwhelms me at times.

I never used to be separated from home. That’s why I never enellord in Baguio nor Manila in College. I felt that i am not complete without my parents and siblings beside me, or sleep without my favorite pillow and bed.I’ve been married for 5 years now, but initially been living with my parents. Aside from financial constraints, the reason is the fact that i will miss my mom, my brothers and sisters and most especially my dad, my bestfirend. But even if we do not want to, we need to do things or make decisions for good. We need to build our own house and establish a happy home for our family. Ever since we moved out of our house just a year ago, I never let a day go by without telling him I love him. I always make a call, and still find time to chat. I want him to know that even from a distance, my heart never fails to remember.I love you dad, happy father’s day to you.
