My Mother was touched on the way my friends husband care for his daughter, because she hasn’t seen the same affection from the father of my children.

We went to my friends house days ago to  fit the dress we are going to wear for their church wedding. (They have been married on a civil one.)When we arrive there, the husband of my friend was not home yet, because he is on a night duty. When he finally arrived, he brought a fries and a burger for his daughter. My Mother really admires him in doing that.  My friend then added, she only gives him Php 50 (that is about US $1) everyday so that he would not spend a lot on anything. From that tight budget, he manages to save money to buy something for his daughter, that day we visited them. THAT TOO made me admire the HUMAN BEING he is and what a great father he has been.

The first time I saw this guy, I thought he is just a player. I know a bit of history about him and that he really has been a playboy. BUT he CHANGED.

My father used to be a playboy as well. But now, whatever storms my family encounter, I know for the fact that my fathers love for our family would be there to stay.

Caring and Love is best expressed in action … in fact I think it could not be express in just WORDS. I could say “I Love You” or “I Care For You” easily and without such feelings. In short, it could be faked. So words are not that reliable.

I have known a story in where the father is far from his kids and separated with the mother of his children. But as the law says it, the kids will stay at the mothers care, until they are old enough to decide on their own on where or to whom they would want to stay. The father would always prepare for this one day every week in where he could see his children. He rides a jeep and a boat, then a jeep again to get to his children. He does this every week. Tiring, but I guess it seems to be worth it. Not to mention he would again ride a jeep and a boat and a jeep again to be able to go home on that same day.

Now, would it be caring enough if one couldn’t even find time for his children? Even if it would just take 45 minutes of traveling by a jeep and much less if on a private car or a taxi. EVEN FOR JUST ONCE A MONTH at least 5 minutes of being with his children … DOES THIS PERSON DESERVE TO BE KNOWN BY HIS CHILDREN? DOES HE DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED? I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF HIS CHILDREN WOULD RECOGNIZE HIM. HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVES.
