Hello Hiverse!
Icy was 1year and 3 months when I left them to their mother. It was too hard for me to go but my paper/visa had been finished and ready to go Saudi Arabia. My mother spent a lot of money just to bring me there. I was still single then when I planned to find work abroad. Olivia was 1 month old, I left them. There's a lot of childhood/infant memories that I missed from Oli. But they kept on sending us picture and we had video calling everyday.
Today as I am scrolling my gallery, I found cute pictures of my kids.
How I wished to be with her on that moment but I was not there.
After 11months of staying here in Saudi, new rules were implemented. I came there without visa for work but a visit visa. I didn't find employer so I talked to my mother that I need to go back home. It was a hard decision. I knew my mother brought me there so we could be together after I graduated but I don't want that my kids will grow without me and even they never recognized me that time.
I don't want that the story of my life without mother in my side repeat to my kids and they are girls. I knew my mother was disappointed about my decision. She spent 400k pesos for bringing me from her expenses. But she understood my reason. Our planned was not put in place. No regrets, I saw the land of Saudi Arabia not thinking of the money lost for that.
Now I want to go abroad again, I finished my training and I'm just waiting for the English language review and examination. But my kids told me that they are not yet ready that I will go most especially the eldest daughter.
I think these pictures of Oli was during her 7 months old birthday. She was so adorable.
