July 1 was the day our dear Papa went back to Saudi. The very first time in 8 years we are living apart from each other. It hurts but we need to accept the fact that this is it! We need to sacrifice and survive.
We're still very lucky because there are videocalls and chats that helped us relieve our sadness and longings. Our daily communication also helped us adjust easily especially the kids. They are no longer crying unlike last time. They were convincing their Papa not to go.
I am hoping and praying that someday he won't have to leave us just to provide us a better future. I want our kids to grow up with their Papa in our side. We need him more than anything else. God is good, He will help us.
