No it's not my age (just add a little bit more :)). It's the number of days I was away from home.With this small amount of time, there were lots of things that I missed and life lessons I realized: Cassandra's New Tricks It was only 14 days when I'm gone and I found Cassandra already walking and pointing to herself when asked "Where is Cassandra?" or "Nasaan si Cassandra?" So cute... I wonder what people will say if I do the same... "Where is Aaron?" Will they have the same reaction? Amanda's Trick or Treat If you're an 80s kid, I'm sure you'll recognize this costume: Kudos to Mommy Cali as she made this custom uniform for Champee which reminds me of my childhood. I think it was Ghostbusters 3 where I had a movie date with Mommy in the Plaza Fair mall in Cubao... plaza what?!
Amanda and Cassandra Got Sick With all the days in the year, a virus chose to infect Champee and Cassandra while I'm away. As a dad, one of the difficult things to do is when you cannot do anything to help your sick kids and most especially, your wife who's sleepless in guarding the babies. As a Christian, the only thing to do is pray for their speedy recovery. Working Dads I just realized that most of the leaders I work with are dads. I think gone are the days when we see western cultures who were not as close to their families. Almost all the people I met during this trip greatly values the amount of time they spend with the family. I think there's a great awareness that for businesses to be successful, it should be able to allow its employees to value the family. After all, it's the basic unit of society. I remember reading before that employees who have a good relationship with their spouses and kids are likely to be more productive. I'm glad that I'm just four hours away from home and will be boarding in a few minutes. Hopefully the babies are feeling much better now. Can't wait to go home. |
