What do you feel if one of your love one needed to go abroad? Just yesterday we drive my father in law to the airport. It was so sad because he needed to go abroad so he could support his family. I was also sad to see him go since i've been a part of there family. Through them, I see how they truly love each other. I was praying that god would give him strength to overcome homesickness and would have good health. An just come to think that my father in law was blind. I salute him for raising 5 child. Not letting his incapacity to stop fulfilling his goals in life. In this family I saw amazing things of having a good family relationship.

Your father in law?...means,he is kind of old?(am i right?) Well,we cannot blame people or our loved ones going abroad. And we knew very well the reason why they're doing these things. Giving their loved ones a much comfortable life,and good future,even if it means sacrificing oneself. My mom is also working abroad for more than 20 years now. And,every time she comes home,and leave us again..the sadness and sorrow is always there,we never get used to her leaving us. Sometimes it is even painful to think that,she should be resting and enjoying her life now that we(her children)were having our own family and living our own life. That,it should be us(her children)taking care of her and not her still working to help us(which undeniably true) This proves how much our parents/loved ones love us that much. Working in far places,battling with sadness and homesickness for our sake. Have a good day always

2 years ago, my sisters were studying abroad and leave me as the only child in the house. I was so sad, and I even cried for days because I miss them very much. However, there are advantages too like I could borrow their clothes or shoes (since we have the same size and... well I think that's it! You know what? Having a family member to go abroad is hard.
