“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a
great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his
neck and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
Almost everyday I speak with my parents. I know they
really want to see Sebin so we facetime almost every morning so they can see
our daughter. I am really thankful for the technology we have today. We can see
each other on the screen for free!
Well, here’s the thing. It’s mostly my mom that we
talk to, since dad is usually traveling for work. So I get to talk to mom one
on one a lot but that is not the case with dad. I can speak with dad when he’s
traveling but since they have bad internet connection overseas we just don’t
talk as much during his travel. We would talk when dad gets home and that is
mostly when mom is there together. In another words, I don’t get to speak with
dad one on one as often.
Last night, I was on skype and I noticed dad had
logged on. So I thought maybe I’ll just say hi. We connected online and we had
our casual conversations asking how we are doing and the usual stuff. 3 minutes
later, dad had to leave so we said bye and hung up. Nothing serious. However,
dad called back about 5 minutes later. He called back to say sorry for hanging
up so fast and asked if I called because I had something to consult with him. I
was bummed out when he asked me that. I realized that I had only called him
when I wanted to consult with him about work. It was a sign that dad and I
weren’t able to connect together in recent months. Due to our busy-ness we didn’t
have the dad-and-son moment in a long time. So I when I had called him, just to
say hi, he thought I had an agenda. As much as I was close to mom, it wasn’t
the case with dad. That happened because we didn’t communicate as much recently.
