Luckily for us she was able to do keep that promise and today we all live hapily together in the UK. My heart goes out to all the women who have to endure this hardship because at the end of the day it is just not natural for a woman to be parted from her kids, even more so if it is for economic reasons.<BR/>Maraming salamat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316216445585306608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197836257322673748.post-5579662128765824822008-06-20T05:42:00.000-07:002008-06-20T05:42:00.000-07:00Such a difficult question for those with small chi...Such a difficult question for those with small children...when I was younger my family was on the receiving end, until the time I left home I had three cousins living in my home at different times, for long periods of time, because their parents separated, moved etc., <BR/><BR/>This was natural to me to have them in our home,having said that I do think it was difficult for each cousin in their own way...they were old enough to understand what was happening. <BR/><BR/>My children are adults now but I think I would still find it difficult to leave the country to live else where with them still here...Azure Accessorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909773759269019279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197836257322673748.post-35363258944455208572008-06-18T16:17:00.000-07:002008-06-18T16:17:00.000-07:00It is definitely not easy for everyone...moving to...It is definitely not easy for everyone...moving to a different country. When I moved almost 10 years ago, it was because of a career opportunity. Money was just a minimal factor. In these times, it seems that money is the number one factor that encourages people to leave their homeland so they can support their loved ones. Unfortunately, not everyone ends up with a happy ending. As you said, the decision must definitely be weighed carefully...find out what and who is affected around you.

It's just me and him here, and it's VERY hard, and we want to get back to where we're from. I don't think it would be possible for me to leave behind my child, even if it was with someone I trusted completely. Luckily, though, I am not in a situation where I will ever have to experience that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197836257322673748.post-72475136745930237612008-06-17T05:45:00.000-07:002008-06-17T05:45:00.000-07:00Hello,I'm one of the Filipinos who left motherland...Hello,I'm one of the Filipinos who left motherland. Thankfully, I didn't have to leave a husband or a child behind. It was still hard to leave my mother, siblings, and extended family members, but not as hard as leaving a husband or children behind, I'm sure. However, my niece who's working with me now gave up her University teaching job and had to leave her daughter and husband for almost a year before they were able to join her here. It was very hard for all of them, but now that they're together again, they're able to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices. I agree with you about the brainiacs leaving the Philippines. But what can one do if the opportunity to improve one's life financially can only be achieved abroad? If the Philippines is so concern about the massive exudos of the brainiac and the talented professionals, then the government should do everything it can do to retain them. The government needs to create meaningful jobs with competitive pay to be had there. BTW, your post is awesome. I'll be one of your regulars from now on. I'll be praying for your friend as well. You're a good person for doing this for a friend.tashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197836257322673748.post-42378476994008258312008-06-16T17:48:00.000-07:002008-06-16T17:48:00.000-07:00This is a hard question to answer, when I was youn...This is a hard question to answer, when I was younger my mother also had to leave me for a short time and though I know it was hard on her and on me at the time it was what had to be done. In the long run I know it was for the best but like Heidi said it really depends on the circumstances.

I hope that I never have to make a choice like that and feel for those that do.

She left me there for one year before she take me home again. I have no suffer from that time of my life maybe I was to small to remember. Living my family would kill me. But, I know that many don't have any choice and because of the circumstance they have to so there children not have to starve. and by doing that they can give their children a better life. I only wish it no one should have to do that.FANCYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608983168583167889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197836257322673748.post-76175984780722841602008-06-14T09:59:00.000-07:002008-06-14T09:59:00.000-07:00hmm that is a tough one.
