Salute to All: Being Far Away from Home

          Being away from one's loved ones is such an extra ordinary ordeal. There are various types of people who are on this category. We have those who are serving their countries by becoming members of their armed forces and at times they are sent abroad for a mission. Some are members of missionary groups who hop from one country to the other to share good news to others especially to those who are not that fortunate in their lives.

          There is also that group of people who seek for greener pasture so they sacrifice their time and resources so as to realise their positive dreams for their families.  I give my salute to all these kind of people. For those who are working abroad, the anxiety, pain, stress, discomfort of being far away from the significant people in one's life are imminent. 

          Thus it is always a relief when both parties spend time to communicate with each other in so doing updates and whereabouts of each one can be relayed. Although the returns could also be greater in forms of material benefits and financial security but both parties are expected to give sacrifices and exert effort to sustain the positive side of the relationship.

          Each day passes so abruptly and without knowing it, one could only realise that he/she has been away for such a long period of time and that multitude changes are happening to those who are left at home especially with the children. As it is said, there is no greater love that a person can offer to his/her loved ones except by offering positive values and a secured tomorrow. 

          Anyway, how do you cope with the challenge of being far away from your family, relatives and other significant persons in your life?
