Working abroad, I always thought that it is a great achievent to be able to go home in the Philippines twice a year to visit my mom and to be able to afford it as such. Financially, I am ok. But time was always is of the essence, having the luxury to be off from work and go home to see her.
One of the reason i work part-time since 2016. This was tested earlier this year, this 2017.
Having just returned 2 weeks after my holiday in the Philippines in the beginning of February, news have reached me that my mom at 90 y/o will be needing an urgent surgery. Re-arranging my rota, my 1 week carer's leave was extented to 3 weeks with the help of my colleagues in swapping my shifts. Working part-time was advantageous in that it wouldn't have been possible if working full-time.
3 weeks would have been enough for her recuperation but it didnt push through as she developed pneumonia. The surgery was deferred for another 3 weeks till i again returned in the Philippines by the end of March for her surgery.
Whatever I have achieved in life would have meant nothing if I wouldn't be able to be with my mom in her direst need. 2017 have shown me, that having a senior post, a high-paying job means nothing when unable to do what your heart desires. This alone is an achievement for me.
This is absolutely amazing. Thanks for your hardwork, dedication, and your best experience maam @immarojas! <3
