So there! One afternoon during my 2016 vacation in my home town in Bicol, I was about to go to bed when my Papa asked me to buy vinegar (nautusan pa ko???)
It may sound funny but if we just think about it… there is really no place like home; that at the end of the day, aside from your role in the office, aside from being an adult, aside from everything that you are outside your house, once we go home, we are just us. You are just you. Your parent’s you. Your family’s you.
Whether you’re a son, a daughter, a sister, or whoever you are at home. You will just be you. ?? Let’s admit; once you feel the need of having a rest from being an adult and you miss those times when all your problem is, how to open your lollipop and what games to play in the afternoon with your mates, home is the perfect place to go. Because no matter what your age is, no matter what career you already have, you will always just be you... You may still be asked to go out for an errand. (At mauutusan ka padin ng mga magulang mo) Because for them, you are just you, you will always be a kid in their eyes.
Make the most of the time with your parents, coz’ once they are gone… all you can do is reminisce of the times that you were together.
Thank you for reading Steemians! See you soon...
Cheers everyone!
You are correct. We should never take them for granted. We should spend time with them whenever we can.
Very true @bellazelena. When he was still alive, I made sure he knew how much i love him. Thank you for dropping by. Followed you. Take care.
thank you for sharing @itsmechille, this post made me more aware about spending time with loved ones. We may never get another chance. We will never know. Take care and much love to you and your family. :)
I appreciate your kind words @robiney. That means a lot. Spending time with our family is what we all need. Thank you for dropping by rob. See you around. Take care! Regards to your family.
thank you. see you. take care.
My dad died just this last Sept 13. My daughter was born exactly one month later Oct 13. I had not talked to my dad in about 4 years. He just didn't like me. It was sad for me being the only son his namesake same name as him. We only talked maybe 6 times in the last 25 years always ending badly and with him yelling at me, me running away not to be hurt by him ever again. I don't think I could have done any thing to change things unless I was just able to take the abuse and love it. I chose to be happy and keep my children from such an angry soul.
Sorry to hear about the abuse you've been through @iamstan. I am sure you are a great dad to your daughter. I am just lucky to have a loving dad, which made me very close to him. So it was very hard for me to accept when he passed away. Take care and regards to your family. Thank you for dropping by my friend! See you...
I have four children and I love them dearly and treat them with great respect and honor. My life is devoted to my children and my wife. Dont get me wrong I am saying that you should be very happy you had a good dad and thankful that you got to spend quality time with him while he was alive. I never had that. Even though both our dads are gone your still better off you will always have the good memories.
I agree to you my friend. His memories will be cherished in my/our hearts forever. He was my hero and my bestfriend :) Sad, but I know he wants me to go on with my life. I am happy knowing that you are happy with your kids and wife. Your kids are so blessed to also have a dad like you. Enjoy the time with them and keep the faith. If I may say, I really appreciate your support, thank you so much @iamstan. I am your friend. Take care. Regards to your family.
Thanks for sharing. It is true that in the eyes of a parent, you will always be their baby. Being a parent myself, as I see my kids grow, I would always wish that I could carry them again in my arms and rock them to sleep.
Indeed... they will always be babies in the eyes of a parent. Thank you for dropping by @fooddadiph. Have a nice one!
I agree. we can only have one set of parents 😭
That's true! Thank you @wilbejel.
Our deepest condolences @itsmechille

This made me cry. If only we could turn back the time, i will make the most out of it. How i
d love to see papas silly smile again. :( We are standing on the same ground Mechille, my father is in Lord`s mighty hand now. He died exactly last Christmas eve. Praying for our wounded hearts to be healed. Praying for their soul.I agree with you @neihy05...if only we could see them again even for the last time. Sorry to hear about your loss as well. My father died last January 6 this year...few days before my birthday. Praying for both our papa. Im sure they are now in heaven....in God's loving arms... just be strong... i followed you already. Thank you for dropping by. I am also a newbie just like you. Cheers!
Home is where I will start and where I will end.
Same here@luigienius. There's no place like home indeed... thank you for your support, luigi. Cheers!
Nothing really beats being with family, being with people where you truly can be yourself, i can really relate to it for having had lost both my dad and my mom. It puts you in deep thoughts where you would say that no matter what, cherishing family is still the prime of it all, it is a personal treasure that has no corresponding price tag.
Strongly agree @valski. No matter what happens family will always be there for you. Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. Thanks dropping by dad! Looking forward of seeing your articles. Cheers! Take care po.
This is totally how I feel a lot of the time, I begin to think about the good old days. Especially that I have a baby now. I’m like woah, where did time go? Such a great childhood
That's true...sometimes I wish I could turn back time when I was still a kid. Lol. Thank you for stopping by @mommystewardess. Have a good one! Take care. Kiss for your baby. Lol.
You are absolutely right my dear. Memory is all we have left when they are gone. We always wish we could give all it could take to have them back one more time. Home is the best place to be with family. It's like stepping into a river. It is always new. Stay strong my Chille-d friend. I am always here for you.
Sometimes I can't help myself but cry. I miss my dad so much. 22 days have passed since he died, but he is always in my mind...i am so grateful to be surrounded by supportive people like you. So thank you my friend. I will stay strong... take care.
Yes, the memory will always stay fresh and evoke moment of tears but don't hold those tears back, let them drop. You will always feel better. Glad you are getting stronger and i am always here for you my dear friend.
If you only know how much I appreciate you and your kind words. Thank you so much again, Ola. Take care always and remember, I am also here for you, anytime you need me. Hope you have a nice day! :)
Means a lot to me my dear. Thank you always.
Same here my friend Ola. Have a nice weekend! Cheers.
