The best time of the year finally arrived, its the 25th day of December a not so ordinary for Christians. Today is the joyous and festive season of all.
It was September 2005 when I left the Philippines to find a greener pasture here in the UAE and since then I haven't got the opportunity to spend Christmas holidays with my family back home. Although I survived the previous ones with joy and gladness through the presence of my relatives, this year came to be far more different since I'm left out cause my relatives has permanently left Dubai.
Loneliness suddenly came over me... there was a part of my heart yearning for something to be filled in. Now I've come to realize how those OFW's feel being away from their families especially for those parents who left their small children to work in a far away land and provide for their needs. It's heartbreaking not to be with them.
Hopefully one day...someday...I'll be home for Christmas.
