Almost "Two Years"

Family is a precious gift of mine. They are the one who always their beside you. The one who protect you. The one who give you unmeasurable love.

Family is like a wall who stand us whatever problems we have. It is a torch to give a light for the brighter path to us. The one who lead us to the fruitful life. The one who give you happiness in life.

This article is about "The almost two years I've didn't get a chance to meet my family."

The Decision

The decision I've made. Last 2019, I don't have a job yet. The things I've doin was household chores, assisted mom, unwind and time for relatives.

One day, I've made a decision to work in Cebu. I went there last October 2019 and get a job. After 3 months, at the end of December I travelled home to spent a Christmas with them. I was really excited because it's my first time to be far away to them. I bought also a christmas gifts and surprises. Around 4:00 am when I already touch down again my province which is Southern Leyte. I don't understand what I've felt it's like I'm really nervous with an excitement. I was arrived already at home by 7:00 am in the morning.

I was so happy to met them again. They were really happy too. I missed them so much. I hugged my niece, he was very cute, I think he was 1 year old that time. I ate my breakfast then after we talked a lot of things, I shared my experiences in worked and the activities I've done everyday. I give them after my surprises and I brought also some souvenirs and foods.

"The time I've already at home. I'm really happy. The happiness I've felt was such a priceless moment I have. When I was in Cebu, I imagined always what if I already on my way to travelled home."

On the next day, we decided to have a family bonding but sadly, mom and dad wasn't there because they worked at Manila. We decided to have a beach time. It was the best day for us. It was a memorable enjoyment. On the next, it was the day before Christmas. My second sister and I decided to went in a supermarket to bought some foods, ingredients and others for the preparation of a "Christmas Eve".

During the Christmas, I prepared the foods in the dining table then I wake up them because it was already 12:oo am in the midnight 25th of December 2019. We were enjoying eating and greeted each other. We watched a simple fireworks. It was really a great fun with them but a little bit sad because our parents wasn't there so we have a video call to them. It was the best Christmas I spent with them, it was unforgettable for us.

New Years Day

This is so sad. It was December 31, 2020 before New Years Eve when I decided to went back in Cebu City because our CEO told us to duty on the 1st day of January 2020. I was really sad, even if I don't want to but I don't have a choice but to get back.

"This time I was really sad because I don't want to go back but it was really important regarding for work so I don't have but to travelled back to Cebu City. It was so heartbreaking, I felt the loneliness, I felt like I was out of myself because I don't want to."

Until March 2020, the pandemic where started due of covid-19. I was so sad because I don't have any chance to have a vacation. There were a lot of requirements needed for the travel. It was really strict and the worst was it turns out "Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ)" because that time Cebu City was the highest at the number of cases. I was really sad because I planned to travelled by June 2020 because it was the birthday of my niece. Until it was June 20, 2020, I don't have a choice but to stayed in Cebu. During the birthday of my niece, I was having a video call to them even it was only in the phone I felt happy because I saw them all were having an enjoyment.

Until the Christmas and New Years Day came. That time I was okay to travelled home but I was doubt and worries because there was a "14 Days Quarantine". So it wasn't okay for me because I worried also about my work and I don't want my boss would mad at me because he said he needed me. I don't have a choice then.

Year 2021

I decided to travelled in Manila for a new work because there was a great opportunity I received. I asked a permission and give my resignation letter to my boss. I'm really thankful to him because he was really understandable but honestly he said that he wanted to refuse it but he don't have a choice.

I met my father in Manila because he was there already for work. What did I do now, everyday and every night I always communicate with them through video call and chatting. I missed them so much.

"Now, I'm really sad. It already August 2021 but until now I didn't get a chance to travelled home because I have a doubts too. It is really dangerous for him. The virus, I'm staying now in the city. So I don't want to. Safety must first. I don't want them to have a sickness. I know there's a right time. I'll be patiently waiting, the important is they are always in a good health and safety. I always pray for them. I really miss them so much!"

I miss you a lot !

I love you all !
