A way to divert my homesickness with my kids


To start with, I am in Dubai right now. I arrived last August 7, 2008. I left my family at home in the Philippines. I made this blog to divert my homesickness. I badly misses my wife and especially my two lovely kids; Justin and Keisha. Justin is 4 years old and Keisha is 2 years old.
This is my first time to be away with my family. I can talk to my wife, Katherine, normally. Its not that I don't miss her, because I know she's old enough to handle being away with me.
But when I talk to my kids, I really cant help myself to cry. Even right now as I am writing, my eyes are filled with tears. Take a look at this picture, isn't that a nice family picture.
Justin is such a smart kid. I am sometimes amazed on how fast he can learn things and even talks a better english than me. Keisha is sweet and charming. Cute as ever just like mommy. She loves to play with his kuya. But the kuya is sometimes strict. Just like daddy.
I know in time I will be able to adjust in this situation of mine. Its a sacrifice we have to take for the future of our family. My wife is as ever supportive with me. I thanked God for giving me such a wonderful wife. She may not be the perfect wife, but is definitely the right one. The decision of leaving my family is not easy. We always pray to God that we want to give what is the best to our children. For their future.
