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.

I just noticed the tears from my eyes after scrolling up back your writing Miss.Thank you so much for this very heart touching article.You made me recall my younger years and how I craved to provide my parents and siblings with a well-off economic status...but I was not given a chance to do so because before I was permanently employed,I lost my mother and my siblings got married at their early age.Like you,they are the meaning of home for me too.

Sorry to hear that friend. I know how it feels to want to provide our family with a stable financial life but haven't got a chance. You may not be able to provide it to them before but I know you can do it to your family in the future.

Thank you for reading this my friend.

When I was a single mom, I left my eldest in the province as well. I had to do it because I didn't ask for financial assistance from my ex. I miss a lot of my child's first milestones but it's all over now. We are together. We are strong because we are moms and we love our kids :) Being home is different- we are at peace and happy. And our home is our family especially our children.
