Mom, Dad where are you?

Aww. One of the many heartbreaking situation some of us have to go through. Even without parents present during graduation and recognition ceremony, still we are valued and loved. Maybe they were just busy, I'm sure they are very proud.

My mother hates going to school, same as with my father because of some valid reasons like my mother is scared of crowded places. So because of it, I became used to it already to the point that I am not informing them anymore whenever I have an award in school until college. But this story still makes me feel sad too.

I can relate to this somehow ate. There's a time na hindi nakapunta both parents ko so I give a my speech with a teary eyed. Pero I also understand naman my parents ate

I can very much relate to this, my parents never came to any of my school activities back then when I was in high school, but I actually love it because I can have so much fun with my friends without my parents monitoring all my movements 😁

Lungkot naman nito sis. Di ako maka-relate. Always present parents ko pag may awards ako.

Nga pala, baka pwede mo na i-approve yung Sponsorship ko sayo? Baka lang naman😅

I can relate to this Sis, when I was in elementary my parents didn't go to school every program, meetings, occasion like family day. It's only me as always. Kaya nung Baccalaureate namin grade six, talagang umiyak ako nung nakita ko si Mama papasok ng gate.

I can feel this as I have suffered from this situation not only once or twice but uncountable times not because my parents do not support me but because where I was studying, there they did not allow any parents to meet with their children. Actually I was in boarding school where the management used to allow to meet students with their parents barely once in a month and at the same time we were not allowed to make a call to our parents, so I felt empty for innumerable times Now I'm happy that I no longer need to take other's permission to talk to with my parents. I just wish every child may get the attention and love from their parents they want.

Naalala ko ung mom ko dito. kada recognition day hindi sya pumupunta. ung father ko naman isang beses lang. ngayong ilang beses akong dl di din ako gaano pinapansin. nakaklungkot minsan iniisip ko na lang na para ito sa akin.

Eh nakakaiyak naman to, Ramona. May time dati na recognition namin, hindi nakapunta ni isa sa parents ko, ang kasama ko sa picture is teacher ko. Hays

Nakakaiyak naman to sis, mostly nangyayari to sa mga mayayaman kasi wala na silang time sa kanilang anak dahil ang iniisip lang nila ay ang pagpapatakbo ng kanilang pera.

I can't see anyone's tears. I have seen many people who look healthy on the outside but are hollow on the inside because they can remember and feel their parents. But man is a traveler, he cannot stay in one place. Don't be sad, they are watching their daughter closely.

Ahhh, you just make my emotions waken up. while reading, I was putting my self in this and everything and every word was touching my heart. Without parents your home doesn’t seems your home you feel o much lonely. Parents are our everything. Don’t be sad, dear mate.

I also lost my father when I was just three years of old....so I know the reality more than anyone else ....I know the scenery of a family without a worker .....I know the suffering of a family without father

Why you really like to make sad stories ate? Actually it depicts the reality that there are students who's doing their best to make their parents proud and believe that their parents will accompanied accompanied in stage but sad to say some parents are busy in work to the point that they didn't give time to their children. It's true that poor people is more happier than those with money since poor people is happy if their children graduated and proud that they managed to let their children finish schooling.

That's sad sis, sometimes parents can't understand that their children don't need much but only their attention and time.

This is very emotional. I am very connected to my parents. Whenever I had some success, I loved sharing it with them. Otherwise, I would not appreciate that success. I am still a child who likes to share everything with parents and that is why I am suffering a lot now when my dad is no longer alive. I keep calling him "where are you", I would like to tell him a lot, but that is no longer possible.

It is very sad what you have written and it is truly a cruel reality. I reflected myself as a mother there.

Nkakasad nmn eto sis di ko kayang gumawa ng ganitong article bka di ko matapos huhuhu.

My mom has always tried her best even though papa was never there for me. I understand the feeling of the poor girl but it looks like to me that the story should have a continuation.

What happened to them? Why weren't they present at such a big moment for their daughter?

You made me cry dear 😭, I remember my high school days, mama was there but papa was not because of work but when I was the one at the stage with mom, I turned my head at the gate, he was there waving. My tears of joy fall. But now, your story hits me. I felt the emptiness.
