Everything happened for a reason and despite the lows moment, I treasured all the memories while my daughters are still a kids. After my 16 months of absence, there were so many things puzzled my mind. 8 was not truly not deserved to the place the caged me but there were so many lessons that made me a better person to be applied for my life and my children.
Our agreement with my X wife is during weekend my kids will be in my house and Monday to Friday, they are sleeping with their mother and I just pick them in the morning and drop them in the afternoon after school.
They feel so happy in the afternoon when I am giving them snack.
The feeling of happiness watching my oldest daughter doing her responsibility in school. I guide her how to sweep the floor before going home.
My youngest daughter thoughtfulness is different. She told her sister not to ask money to me, so I would never leave them again to find money. The young mindset touched me so much. She loves her mother more than me but she doesn't want to be away again.
Do you know that they never know where I was during my absence? Yes, I pretended I came home from Dubai. They thought I worked that time.
When they are sleeping with me, I was shocked by the question of my youngest daughter,"Tatay, why you are living in the other house while you are married to Nanay? Why you don't go home with us? Let's go home and let us eat and sleep together like before.I was speechless. The eldest one understood and she want with me not to her mother but the youngest one loves her mother more than me.
*The best part when they forgot that we are living in a separate lives and our bonding every weekend gave me the satisfaction that my children are my gems to be cared for until the end and last breath.
I don't know what tomorrows come to us but the only thing I focused is that, I am happy with my kids, I am happy that they are with me. I have no siblings, and I grew up without my mother in my side until now. I lost father too early. That's the game of life we could not control. I trust God everything in my life.
Thank you mother @olivia08 for your unconditional love and support.One day, I will be the one for us. Thank you #hivers for your support and may this journey could help me starting my life anew.
Hive to the Moon!
