Being a Seaman’s Wife

Life without a husband in our side is not an easy thing to do; we need to be strong for our daily lives in order to coup up the needs of our children and to comfort them in the absence of our husband. Having a children of two both are studying is quite difficult to manage without a partner. But I need to be strong and if possible I don’t want to be sick with God’s well.

I need to wake up early morning just to prepare for the food for our breakfast, prepare the uniforms and everything needed for my son’s going to school. Time to wake up the kids, and assist them in taking a bath, changing cloths, and to eat their breakfast in order not to be late in going to school, then I drive them in school for I did not hire for a school bus for them for I pity them to wake up early because school service pick up very early for there are still many students to be pick up. So, I prefer to hands on them in everything. When they are already in school I have also time for myself and time to clean and other daily chores to be done in the house. I did not hire for a nanny for I don’t know the person and you will be together I one roof. Better to have no nanny than to have a headache with them.

Seaman’s wife is not an easy task we need to be strong all the time just for our family. Most wife of a seaman has an easy life waiting for the allotments to come every month, go on shopping, casino and everything and sometimes there are third party involve which is common to every husband and wife that are always away from each other. And it is always one thing that I don’t want to happen in my marriage, it is important that each of the husband and wife must take care of their relationship in order to have a better future together with our children. Let the love, trust, understanding and fear in God be always in every household in order to save the marriage and live life in a harmonious way.

When I Meet the Man of My Life

During those days when I enjoyed my life being single, I’ve meet a man who is quite handsome, respectful have a good sense of humor and in short every woman’s desire.

When I meet this guy I think my heart blows all the fears in me, I tell to my self oh Lord I think this is now the man I am waited for. After that we talk things many things about both of us telling each others individual stories in life, experiences and everything that happens in our daily life. But time is limited for us. Then after that first meeting we need to depart from each other for we have our individual ways to go. He will be going to work far and he will be going to depart on that week for the man that I’ve meet is a seaman. After that short time we’ve meet, and me also go far to find my will in life and I depart also to other country to work. We both Filipino working from other countries just to uplift our living. To make the story short only the communication ties our relation before telephone calls, cell phones, net are not used to us so what we make a communication gadgets is thru letters only and it serves to us, until such time that we had a vacation together and meet again and plans for the wedding.
