Whenever I was in graveyard shift I’m always excited to see the sun rises as it signals me that after few minutes I can now go home and take a rest. It’s too hard for me to be awake for more than 14 hours straight. And we all know that there was a big difference taking a sleep at night than day time.
But today will be different from the other days I’m always excited going home after work. I know that if I come home this morning, my father will be already in the airport waiting for his flight. After his three months vacation here in the Philippines, he was scheduled to go back again to Saudi, where he used to be working for fast few years, but now with new company.
We already used with this arrangement, that he just comes here once in a year for a couple of weeks or months. We all need to sacrifice for us to have a good living and support all our needs. But I know it’s much harder for him to be separated from us and be there staying abroad alone. Although there are many OFW working in Saudi, it’s still different being with your own family.
But with his new company, as part of the agreement we are given this privilege to visit him there. And the good thing about it, we don’t need to spend any cost because his company will be the one who answer all our expenses.
Okay enough for that I just want to say we will miss our Tatay Dey (father) and we love him so much.

It must be really hard at first to get used to a living without a father inside the house. And it must be hard to repeat the ritual of saying goodbye every time he leaves again. :C I never experienced it before and I’m guilty for wishing my dad would go away. Hay. Pero diba at least your Tatay is going for good.
I hope everything is going to be alright for him there. And that’s a great opportunity na kayo pa mismo ang makakadalaw sa kanya!
