OFWs this season…
My cousin is now an overseas Filipino worker (OFW). He’s in the Middle East with one of our uncles. I feel for the families of OFWs, especially at a time like this. You cannot help but miss their presence. You cannot help but wish they are here with you, celebrating Christmas and having fun come New Year’s Eve. But just imagine how they feel with them being in a foreign land and missing their families at the same time. Doubly hard.
There are so many things to be lonely about. Weird weather condition. My cousin said that it’s freezing cold where he is right now. He might be in need of an electric blanket. If he’s here in the country, the weather is not a problem. The breeze is cooler now but not freezing cold. No Christmas where he is. That’s another thing. Not to mention not being with his family.
I can truly relate because my dad once worked abroad, too. We missed him for two Christmases so I know how it feels not to have a love on this season.
