There's No Other Place Like Home Blog #180 March 08, 2022
I started working when I was 16 years old. During my first days and weeks, I was longing always for my family. Every Sunday, as long as the mother and father of the baby that I babysit didn't have work, I always asked for their permission to visit my family. Though I was already 16 years old at that time, every time I went home I can't help myself from being emotional. Seeing my family and eating together with them was always be the best moment every time I visited them. Sometimes if my father had time, he would visit me at my workplace. Seeing him through the gate makes me want to cry and hug him so tight. I miss him so much even if we are only kilometers apart. Whenever he visited me, I would ask permission again to go outside and treat my father and my step-mom a snack. Two or three pieces of bread paired with cold drinks were what I treated them. Seeing them so happy eating makes me want to go home with them but I controlled myself because my father needs assistance at that time. He didn't have work because he still needed to renew his security guard license. After how many months of working and being away from my family, my father then decided to let me stop working and just stay at home. Hearing what he said made me super happy. I'm happy because I can be with them, spend time with them and I could eat together with them. My happiness at that time is very simple. Just being at home together with my loved ones made me so happy already. Sharing the food that my father bought, though it was just a simple one, we are already satisfied with it.
Last December 2017 was when I decided to work again. Leaving my youngest who was 1 year old at that time wasn't easy but I don't have any choice because our life at that time was so hard. My twins are studying at kindergarten but every month I was so problematic when we were asked to pay for our monthly dues. Though it was just a small amount, still I didn't have enough money to pay for it. Our money was just enough for our everyday expenses so I decided to work to help my family with our expenses. They said that the longer I stay at work, I wouldn't miss my family anymore because I will be used to not seeing them. I will not be homesick anymore but what they said was exactly the opposite of what I was feeling every day. Every day I was longing to be with my family, especially with my kids. I was always longing to see their precious smiles, laughs, and even their cries. There were nights that I have to stay awake and just think of them. Sometimes while thinking about them, my tears suddenly roll down my cheeks. When I called them during the daytime, I cried silently too and wished that I was at home taking care of them. But I just wished it that time because I still can't go home. I prayed every day to God that He will guide me through and that I can overcome the loneliness that I felt inside. After how many months of working, an unexpected thing happened that made me fear and wish I didn't take the work that my friend had offered. I fear for my safety. Every day and night, I had to be vigilant with my surroundings and during those times, only God is with me. I always prayed to Him that He will rescue me from that kind of workplace. When God finally answered my prayer, I immediately went home and reunite again with my family. Being with them made me feel safe and secure. **Home is where I can eat and sleep peacefully.** **Home is where I find contentment and happiness.** **Home is where love and care are present.** **Home is where most memories are created.** **Home is where my heart is.** **Home is where I find the things that I search for in life.** **Truly there's no other place like home. Home is where I find the happiness and love of my family.** Thank you so much to my dear sponsors who stays with me up to this moment. Thanks for your support and trust. I prayed and hope that God will bless you more. To those who take time to read my articles, leave an upvote, comments, and likes on my published articles, a million thanks to all of you.

Tinuod jud ka maamsh, bisan man ug maminyo na ta or pila na ang Atong edad, mag desire pa gyud gihapon tang makauban ug makauli sa atong pamilya
This is a warrior's story mam. you are a true warrior.

Every hardships that we are gone through is something which we cherish more later.

*True Mayiee. Kahit minsan di magkakaintindihan pero mas masaya at mas safe pa din pag at home tayo
Totoo yan sis walqng kasing says pag kasama ang pamilya. Pero minsan kailangan din nating tatagan ang ating loob para sa mga pangarap lalo sa future ng mga bata .mahirap naman talaga sa una sobrang sakit sa loob pero habang tumagal na sanay din
Tama sis, minsan kailangan nating magtiis para sa kanila. Mahirap, malungkot at minsan nakakapagod pero kakayanin para sa kanila.
Kaya nga sis sobrang hirap at lungkot

I am an old man and still feel like there is no place like home. I have spent many months away from home over the years. Time away from my family and appreciate each and every day I am home. In fact, these days I rarely even leave my house.
Aw, home is where we can peacefulness and happiness in ourselves and I'm.happy to know that right now you're at home already. Not anymore away from your family
Awww I know how it feels when we are far from our parents when we need them more. May you be happy always with your kids Glad to know that you have twins kid
Thank you so much. God bless you

In my case murag damgo ra nako ang tanan nga nalayo ko nila nagpasalamat ko sa internet karun kay anytime pwede na natu maestorya bisan unsa ka layo.

My dear friend, reading your memoirs was very enjoyable. Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes everything is hard, but then there is joy. I completely agree with you that nowhere in the world is like home. I am willing to work 24 hours a day, but stay home. And my work be remote. Home is the only place that gives us peace.
That's true my friend. It's where we find peace. I also like to stay at home, work 24/7. It may be tiring but as long as I know that i am with my family, tiring will never be a thing to me.
Home is the best peaceful place for me.When I come back my home from the city every time I feel so happy. But again going time I really feel bad.
Same feeling, when i can back home, j felt do happy but when I went to work again, the feeling is indescribable. Mixed emotions are always there
That's really true there's no place like home, home is where you belong even when we are outside the home and coming back to meet with people at home you will always feel much joy in you. So even the animals knows how sweet the home is, I was once thought one song friend the birds that says " Home my home, Home my home, When shall I see my home... eheheh you can complete it if you know.
That's true, coming back home and reuniting with our live ones will always give do much joy in my heart..I haven't known about that song, hehehe
Alright, I do enjoy the song and i remembered the song lyrics after reading your article about home sweet home.
I search for that song and i read the lyrics. That's actually a good song
No matter how far I go from home, in the end I return. This is the coolest place of all time.
Same, no matter how far I'll go, no matter where the path leads me, I'll always be back home because that's the only place that i find the genuine happiness
Matatag ka din sis noong nagwowork ka. Tama iyan sis. Hindi tayo pababayaan ni lord. Bsta magpatuloy lamang lagi tayong manalangin sa kanya.
Kailangan sis. Kahit sukong-suko na ako pero kinakaya. Iyakin kasi talaga ako at di ko kayang mawalay sa family ko pero kailangan talagang magsakripisyo..Tama sis basta lagi tayong manalangin Kay God, hinding-hindi niya tayo pababayaan sa oras ng kagipitan at kapahamakan
that's the happiness of having a family because life is beautiful when it's together with my beloved family, that's why I often miss my hometown when I go to work and even though our house is very simple but I'm proud to see we can still get together. no matter how beautiful the beach is, keep a simple house and more beautiful family members.
Same as ours, we only have a simple house but once we are a gathered together, the happiness, the enjoyment with each other's company are really priceless.
Home Sweet Home. The best place where we treasure our good and bad memories.
I agree with you, it's the place where both memories are treasured and cherished
A harmonious relationship with your family is the best definition of a HOME. The feeling of authenticity of happiness when you are at home is priceless.
Exactly, the genuine happiness that we feel whenever we are at home with our family is really priceless.
Yes my friend, you said right. There is no other place like home, home can be called heaven on earth.
You're right my friend. Home is our heaven here on earth. It's where we find genuine happiness, peacefulness and ms moST of all the genuine love of our family
Reading this article makes me miss home anyway I am far from home because my school hostel is really far from home but I am happy because I am spending my weekend home
Being far from home really made us miss our home but it's okay. During weekends you can still visit them and if you are done studying, you can go home anytime
Iba talaga kapag kasama ang pamilya sis. Subrang nakaka complete sa psuo at happy ka kahit ano pang pagdaanan nyo basta magkasama kayo.
Tama ka sis, basta kasama natin sila, kahit mahirap at masakit ang pinagdadaanan, makakaya natin at higit sa lahat nakuha pa nating maging masaya kasama sila.
Totoo sis. Sa kanila kasi tayo kukuha ng lakas sis. Kaya mahirao ang buhay, may lakas tayo harapin.
I feel that too sis when the 1st time I starter working. 16 lng din ako ng nagstart mag work
