Your narrative is especially striking, as I am in the position of your father, leaving his children alone with their mother because I have to travel for work for several weeks at a time. I can only hope that when my time comes, my children will think as fondly of me, as you do for your father.
thank you for your comment. It is tough. But im sure you do just as my father did in those days. You make the best out of what little time you had to spend time with your children. I was born and raised in Ciudad Juarez, in Mexico. It was a very poor part of town. But thanks to my father's hard work and dedication, I had everything I needed to make it. My mother kept pushing and pushing. I was always made aware of the hard work and sacrifice that my father went through in order for me to sleep in a warm bed. My father was a roofer and back when winters were very harsh in New Mexico, he worked in a few feet of snow. Thats why I never complained that I had to walk to school as a kid.
