I always consider myself an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker because both my parents are OFW) even though I a migrant Filipino. Thanks to the new technology it eases the pain of being away from your love ones you can chat see each other through webcamera but NOTHING compares to pain when one is sick or in pain and you can not hug or kiss or just be there comforting each other awaiting the sad news.

My father was supposed to be ok and he actually was fine last Sunday, he wash the dishes but they have to perform another operation because they have to clean somethingthere is a swelling in his brain so he was operated for the second time last Monday but this morning he was bleeding so he was operated again. It looks like the doctors made a mistake .

Right now I feel so much pain that I want to join my mother and 2 brothers and sister in Madrid but I can’t do that right now many things is playing in my mind but I told my mother it’s beyond human hands we all need to pray because what I can remember is that all I asked from our Lord He granted all my prayers
For my blogger friends knew about my father

History I will post some pictures of him.

I can say that yes working abroad makes our life better and OFW’s are considered the new heroes by sending money to their families. Those remittances helps the economy of the Philippines but it’s also has consequences.

So if I can’t update this blog you know why.

Please Pray for my father’s recovery and our family to be strong in this time of crisis.

Thank you.

      Thank very much with the all your prayers an support @Mel, Bingkee, @krystyna and all that who supported and pray for my father’s recovery. I’m grateful for everything people I that I haven’t met but took time to read and say a prayer makes me and my family is not alone in this world.
      I was together with Nitnit, Judy, Cathy and later Chris was up almost all night last Friday preparing for our May Flower Fest and Babaylan Denmark 12th year Anniversary yesterday in the Hall of St. Anne my tears were flowing endlessly when I receive a text message that it’s seems like not a good news my dear tatay is not wake yet. But despite my personal crisis I still need to perform my duties (voluntary work) but the two priests was very helpful and comforted me.
      I believe in the powers of prayer and yesterday even I was so tired but I didn’t felt it when the message that my father tried to open his eyes when my family visited him inside the ICU there is hope. He is still fighting and I know he will survive this.
      Again Thank you MEL and everybody for your prayers.
