Being an expat kills me leaving my family for their future.

[Olgar Alcoba]

I have been an expatriates for almost 13 years now.  I am taking my vacation every year, every month of March to be exact.  With or with out enough budget on my vacation, there is nothing more really better than with your love ones.  But for me being an expat, that whole one month is just a fantasy, a dream, a wonderland full of happiness with my wife, son, family, friends and relatives.  After that, when your vacation is done and you'll have to come back, everything goes back to reality.  The reality of life, I have to leave them all over again and face my responsibility for them.  I hurts me so bad leaving them.  It crushes my heart!  All I could do is to cry just to ease off that heavy feelings I feel inside of me.  But then again this is life, this is for my family's future, I have to get over this bad feeling and move on.  Thanks to God for giving me the strength I have asked to get on.
