Is it hard to raise a baby away from your Partner?

... How should I start? Hindi na yata ko sanay magBLOG. >.<

Well, yeah, 3 or 4 years since my last blog huh.. and now, I have a 1 year old beautiful daughter ~_^

Isn't she pretty? Look at my own pic, hurry!
What??! Doesn't look like me huh? --- big YEAH. my hubby's look alike, 98%. Most people say, at least she got your gender. LOL

Why I am raising her away from hubby?
NO no, we're not separated. and BIG NO that he left us!
any other answer? .....yeah! your thought is just absolutely right! He's working abroad =)
The fact that you NEED a partner to raise your kid, is, 100% true, but, as a MOM, as a wonder mom, Super MOM, it is possible to raise her into a fine child, a good child, a loving daughter / son even miles away from him.

To tell you the truth? After almost 5 months of separation (I mean, I resigned from my work in Macau and went back to Phil then left him work there alone), I thought that our baby would not come near him the first day that they meet again. My baby was almost 8 months old when we went back to Phil, and my husband came home when she was 1 yr old. But what happened? She just stared at his daddy's face wondering, then later on, she go and play with him!

We fetched him from NAIA 3

That was not really surprising though! But the following days? There were times that she don't want to go away from her dad, even I personally getting her from him, even his Lolo tatay and tito ninongs who were her BESTFRIENDS in strolling? He don't go with them when she is with her daddy. She just love to be carried by her dad. Wow.. That was really amazing. A real daddy's girl!

I knew the reasons why.

Why my baby still recognize his dad, still feel his dad.. It's just simply because he is just literally away, but not REALLY. He's just always "here". The moment that he wakes up in the morning, he will say hello to us in viber, or skype, or wechat! His company break time, he is spending his 30 mins chatting with us. Even the time he is waiting for the bus to go home, he's chatting. The moment he arrive the house, enters the room, or go to bed. He will tell us. And even the most boring and even the funniest event of the day, he doesn't miss to tell! That is how he handle us, even miles apart, he NEVER let us feel it. That is why I can raise my child unafraid. He always let us feel that he's just right beside us.. watching us.. guiding us.. supporting us.

And for that, I am so thankful. I'm thankful that I do not feel alone. I feel like we're still together and helping each other out.. and my answer to my Blog's question is = NO. It depends. and in my case, it is a big NO. And I hope some couples away from each other can learn something from this. Just be strong, and trust each other. You're tied as one, and you will never be apart.

Family who trust one another and have faith in each other, stays together, stays FOREVER!

See?
