Distance is no excuse to be distant | via nolisoliph
I didn’t live with my dad for a good part of my childhood. I don’t mean for this to sound sad, it was just something I’d gotten used to since his work would take him out of town for weeks at a time. This all changed when he got assigned to work in Cebu, and he opted to move out so my brother and I could continue studying in the city.
I don’t often talk about this period in my life, and I generally don’t find the need to, considering my dad has since moved back in with us. Recently, however, I found myself looking back at all the ways my dad reached out to us during his time in Cebu and constantly made sure I knew he would always be there for me—at a time where social media wasn’t a big thing yet.
I like to think that his habit of keeping in touch with his family is something I’d picked up. Sending my parents a short message on Facebook after I get home to my condo after work or even calling them as soon as I get out of the elevator almost feels like second nature to me—all because of my dad keeping a line of communication open for all of us.
