Want to go here after nearly 20 years of raising children alone

Alone in a foreign land with two young children, at that time I was really struggling, not daring to be sad, always looking for ways to forget the pain because I was afraid that if I got sick, who would take care of my children. It has been almost 20 years since I escaped, now my two children are grown up.

In the past, I lived in the countryside, afraid that when my children grew up, I would go to the city to study. I was alone, so I decided to move to the city to live. I could not change jobs, but thanks to the interest of the union, understanding the situation, I gave him a year of unpaid leave. Going to the city, I did everything to take care of my children’s education.

>> Always afraid to raise children alone

A year later, I was able to change jobs, my children also went to public schools and were obedient. During the day I work at the office, at night I work part-time, sometimes friends ask: “How are you”, I always answer: “You are not allowed to be sick, if you are sick, the whole family will be hungry”. Then God also loves, the daughter who has just graduated has found a job, the son who has not graduated yet has a relatively high income. Just like our grandparents used to say: “The old land treats the new”, so that my parents and children’s life is less difficult.

I always dreamed of reaching the age to retire early, going here and there to make up for the hard years. Not being rich, but I think today is better than yesterday. I’ve been at home alone for the past few days, I wish I could go somewhere but only have four days off, the streets are crowded, so I’ll stop going in a few years. Now I just pray for good health to fulfill my dreams.
