OPEN LETTER: To my Co OFW this letter is applicable between both parents especially to the mother and the child or children left behind home… As an OFW earning dollars is our main objective why we left home but for some others it could be personal things. Heartbreaks, sufferings, obstacles came along in our lives as soon as we left home. It appears in different faces in life in different gender and status, in different time and situations where nobody could run away from it. Whether as a parent (mother or father) as a single mother or father a brother or a sister, or even other nearest kin of the family, it’s unavoidable. The sufferings and the burden of being separated from your beloved ones is beyond the most devastated thing that could happen in your life, especially between parents and child or children. Both sides need to be strong and understanding to tackle the circumstances and all the undertakings that will go along the way of the “Long Distance Relationship.” People need to consider that things happened or happening in this world, sometimes it’s beyond our will and control. But everything in life have reasons and the only good thing, if you had sinned you need to straightened, learned and never do it again, and you can move on in life. For the parties left behind home, they should understand that life overseas isn’t all “Honey and Milk.” They should be thought and be aware that the hardship of the hard earned money by working overseas came from “Blood and Sweat.” And the most heartbreaking and devastating is the absence of the physical loves that they both enduring and luring from their lives. Who wanted to be separated and not to give the physical love from their love ones? What a $64,000.00 question that you should not even throw to the person who had left home. Real parents love their children unconditionally and will stand by them no matter what. Especially the mother that carried the child inside her womb and brought the child into this wonderful world is undeniably proof of love of a mother to her child. For the children left behind, the physical love that you missed or are missing from day to day basis of your life doesn’t mean neglecting or rejecting from your parents, instead it’s the other way around. Real parents overseas close their eyes when they left home but deep inside are bleeding and only think what is best for their siblings, that includes Food, Clothing, Shelter, Hospitalization, Necessary Necessities, Education and most important the Moral and Spiritual support, which at least can be tied up the absence of the “Physical Appearance” of the “PARENTS” to make the child or the children have a better life and be a better person. And in Filipino tradition helps carried on up to the extended family. To the “Guardians” who look after the child or the children left behind whom at the same time gave their love and affection and stood by them in the most critical point of their lives and filled up the physical absence of their love ones “Thank You” is not even enough…But in the eyes of “God” you’ve done something great in your life… To the “Guardians” whom had been carried away by their love to the child or children left behind, your love is understandable but please don’t take away the real love between the parent and the child or the children…time will come and only truth will prevail on “God’s” way… By: Merle Manabat
