Before I go on, allow me first to share our family portrait taken in the studio a day before he left. Yup, hubby left for work again this morning. It feels different. It seems so quiet here in the bedroom. No socks to pick up from the carpet. No crumpled bedsheets to fix once in a while caused by two D’s who decided to turn the bed into a playground. No more two rolling eyes to watch me as I try hard to cook our meals. *sigh* Missing him already…

And it really broke my heart the moment he got off the car taking his luggage… Deye screamed like hell asking “Kayi me first Dada!” (Carry me first Dada!), then she cried. I had to tell her again that Dada has to leave for work so we could buy her milk and toys. Then she kept quiet, staring the window, till she fell asleep.

As soon as we reached Olongapo at around 8am, we went to the bedroom straight. Then again she remembered Dada… Again I had to explain her the same thing. These moments really make me cry – discreetly.

There’s more to it… last night while hubby was having bath, I was lying down in bed thinking and crying…. I didn’t realize that Deye was coming inside and saw me crying. She asked me…

Deye : Mama, why are you kya-ying?

Me : I am sad because Dada is going again. I replied…

Deye : You are sad, why naman?, she added…

Me : Because we won’t see Dada for so many days… Then she innocently said…

Deye : I not sad, Mama because…. because… Dada is out-chide.

Wehehehe! Oo nga naman, Dada was still outside.

Oh well, guess I need myself to get used to this situation now. I’m trying…. very hard.
