Ang aking asawa na si R at anak na si Amelie
(My siblings and I grew up not seeing much of my father. He worked in the US merchant marines and managed to go home only twice a year. Needless to say, we grew up not knowing who he really is. Until he retired two years ago, we got all the chance to know each other and catch up on lost time.
Not discounting all his efforts, hard work and sacrifice to give us a good future, I knew then that the setup is not something that I would want for my own family. I want my child to see much of her father as much as she sees me.
I am happy that my husband’s work does not require him to travel a lot and be in another country. That is one blessing that I am always grateful for.)
Lumaki kami ng aking mga kapatid na hindi nakakasama ang aming ama. Siya ay nagtatrabaho noon sa US merchant marines at nakakauwi lamang ng dalawang beses sa isang taon. Lumaki kami na hindi namin sya nakikilala. Hanggang mag retiro sya dalawang taon ang nakakaraan at doon pa lamang nagsimula na kami ay mabuo bilang pamilya at magkakilanlan.
Bagaman malaki ang hirap at sakripisyo nya sa paghahanap buhay sa ibang bansa, alam ko noon pa na hindi ganoon ang gugustuhin ko para sa sarili kong pamilya. Nais ko na makita at makasama ng aking anak ang kanyang ama.
Masaya ako na ang trabaho ng aking asawa ay hindi nangangailangan na sya ay magbyahe ng malayo at mamalagi sa ibang bansa. Isa yang pagpapala ng Diyos na lagi kong ipinapagpasalamat.
May isa pa akong lahok dito, sana ay makapasyal kayo.

sabi ko sa ibang Father and Son entries…’sige pare usap-usap tayo’ pero itong sa’yo Father and Daughter kaya dapat…’sige sabihin mo lang sa mommy mo, akong bahala sa’yo’ hahaha!
parang sarap na sarap si Amelie, ngiting-ngiti.

Maswerte ang mga pamilyang di nagkakahiwalay dahil sa trabaho. Sa panahon kasi ngayon na uso uso ang migration, maraming napapalayo sa kanikanilang pamilya. Kaya dapat samantalahin ang mga panahong magkakasama.

Sangayon ako sa iyo. Tunay nga na importante na ang ama ay kapiling ng isang bata sa kanyang paglaki. Buti na lamang at ang asawa mo ay hindi kailangan manirahan sa ibang lugar para mag trabaho.
Maligayang LP!

ang ganda ng picture ni R at amelie…as always.
ako man, ayaw ko ang malayo ang isa sa aming mag-asawa kay abby dahil sa trabaho. kaya parusa yung unang 3 buwan na nauna umalis papunta US ang asawa ko. 
madalas man siya magbusiness trip, ok na rin. dahil pag wala namang business trip, dito sa bahay ang office niya. hahaha! 
Bagong Ama

a lot of fathers have to make sacrifices for their families by working abroad. although it took you to know him only when he retired, i’m sure you and your siblings understood and appreciated his effort even during your younger years.
your very own father-daughter picture is beautiful.
btw, forgive me for the very late response to your favorite toy meme.

Ang gandang pagmasdan ng larawan. So sweet!
Tama ka sa sinabi mo, bagama’t hindi rin kagustuhan ng mga magulang ang mapahiwalay sa kanilang mga anak.
