It’s Saturday! And my father just left this morning to go back to Riyadh, he’s probably aboard the plane by now and sitting comfortably. He had been with us for less than a month! That’s how short the vacation he had and that’s how short the time he spent with us. I’m praying for a safe trip for him, and hoping that he gets to have more time for he’s family than work.
I was ten years old since the first time he left to work abroad! I was in 2nd or 3rd grade back then, I’m the eldest in the siblings so I had to stand as the father of the house! That was my thoughts back then, and so I did! I stood as a father to my younger siblings. We graduated Elementary level and Secondary level without seeing our Dad, only knowing he’s situation thru mails and pictures, emails and cellular phones wasn’t yet that popular that time so we write him letters, and I’ll be the one to go to the post office to mail him our mails, and we’ll be eagerly and anxiously waiting for he’s reply mails every month. Those are my only memories of my dad during my childhood days, thru letters I get to be with my father.
Sad memories are hard to forget but that’s how life went for us. Back then it was an ordinary thing for me as a kid! Thinking that its an ordinary situation for a father to be away from his loving family to earn, to be able to support their kids and all! To send to school, give them a good life. That’s how it was when I was a child! But kids grow! Kids mature! A child’s innocent mind flourish as he age, learning the irony of life as he experience it and realize things on his own! Knowing the real fact of life is some how making or giving answers to his life situation, learning and knowing that parents have to be away for the family to survive. It is somehow difficult in a way for a young mind to take it all in at once, asking himself more questions about life! about his life! His family! About himself!
So how does a child cope up? I don’t know how other kids would cope on that kind of situation. I know mine was not that good but I had no regrets of my life’s work. I lived myself as me, as what I know I should have done, as to what I have felt and thought of what is right. I only had lost some time but I knew that I never have lost my future! I may be struggling still with life, but I know I’ll be wining it over.
We come and live our life in different ways, we have life struggles everyday. The thing is to conquer the struggles that come in our way! We fight to live! We fight to be strong! There maybe lots of set backs but that doesn’t mean that you have to surrender just like that.
