leaving on a jet plane

My father was, just this afternoon. China Airlines bound to Taipei - San Francisco - Atlanta - Miami. Yes with that so many connecting flight, it definitely would be a tiring trip for my dad... Pero even though he has been working as an OFW for more than a decade now our family has never learned to accept the sadness it always brought us whenever my papa leaves. Expect a tearful goodbyes a few days before he flies, and what more when we are in the departure area of the airport!? ay grabe na... iyakan blues talaga. My father ever since was not shy or even stop himself from crying whenever he feels to. Sa kanya ko ata nakuha yun, kaya lahat ng bagay iniiyak ko lalo na kapag nakakalungkot talaga.

It's just sad, really. Sigurado iniisip nya ngayon ang apo nya, baka kaya di makatulog si Olin now, it's way past her bed time na pero ingit ng ingit pa rin.

Sometimes I can't help myself to blame pa rin the Government sa lungkot na everytime namin pinagdadaanan sa tuwing umaalis si Papa... if only merong mga jobs na talaga namang pwede for the people that they wouldn't have to go out of the country in search for better opportunities eh di sana always happy family ang setting namin... walang good byes, walang naiiwan, walang mag-isang binubuno ang hirap ng trabaho just to provide a well deserve living for the family. If only...

It's just sad. Sana mayaman na lang kami. Sana di na naalis si Papa :(
