“Ga, may sasabihin ako sa iyo na hindi ko sinabi last December. Kaalis mo lang at alam kong wala ka namang magagawa kahit malaman mo. Yung anak mong panganay, na-dislocate ang kanyang shoulder joint noong December. OK na siya ngayon. She is well and doing good.”
I talked to my daughter and she said: “Pa, thank you for the money you sent. Things were much easier.”
At that very moment, I felt so guilty. For me, if my beliefs are correct, being a father is not just the money we give them.
The essence of being a father is when she needed a glass of milk, I'd hand it over to her. When she cannot reach her medicines, I'd reach them for her with a glass of water. It is when she wanted to go places, I was there to assist.
At that very moment, I said: "only an owned business will make this dream come true."
