Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Waking up to their smiles

A year ago, I believed that I would be happier and more financially secure with my family right now. The truth is, after years of being a distant parent, I had always dreamed of becoming a wonderful father—even a better husband—to my children and family. Without my physical presence, I was really worried about how my wife and kids were developing. I felt that my immediate family bore the brunt of my search for a better life abroad because I came from a conventional home where parents and siblings were constantly there.

So I began making plans to reunite with them. Even though everyone experiences life. Every decision we make in life involves a sacrifice. Having enjoyed my freedom while married with children, I understand that merging with them entails even greater duties, and they are worth the sacrifices. We are finally united, but the truth is that while we may not be financially secure, waking up to their smiles every day, watching them grow, and making happy memories are pleasures that money cannot buy and that I hope every decent father never misses.
