Cleaning your house while kids are still growing up is like shovelling the sidewalk before it stops snowing - Phyllis Diller

A pleasant day to everyone. May your coffee be strong and your day be beautiful! Good day, Hives! It's me again, Ace26, your Gwapo (handsome) blogger from the Philippines.

I was on my bed trying to get to sleep while scrolling through my gallery to make an album for my next blog.

When suddenly, I bumped into these photos, and I stopped. My kids are growing so fast that watching those photos is like yesterday, but now they are on their feet running around our home.

Once you have children, your life changes forever. And despite all the early morning wake-ups, hectic schedules, and temper tantrums, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Your child brought a whole new kind of love into your life, and you couldn’t imagine life without them.

I can't imagine 10 years from now; they can decide on their own if they will be the same if these kids will still be excited every time I get home, or if they will be running towards me while shouting Papa 🥺.

The first photo that pops up is my daughter Chloe Micole, who has a similar facial features as me and has a similar attitude to her mother. She got it all on me.

She is so bubbly, adorable and full of energy; she was my little Chloe who kept our home alive.

And, of course, my eldest son, Ace Mico, is a bipolar kid, which is similar to me; He likes to be alone and independent, and he also loves math ☺️ she got his facial features from her mother.

They were my treasure, the only reason why I strive harder, just to give them the life that they deserve, a comfortable life that includes proper clothing, a refrigerator full of food, and a happy shelter.

As a father, I usually think of things like if I did my duty as a father or if I did give them a comfortable life cause sometimes I used to compare myself to other parents, like they give their kids a proper education, bring them to an amusement without checking their wallet.

But as days went by, I mostly saw my kids happier on a public playground rather than on a fancy playground at the mall; they loved sitting on the grass eating together rather than eating fast food or a movie marathon on our cellphones than watching a movie at the cinema.

Kids do enjoy things that make them genuinely happy rather than fancy things, at their young minds they wholeheartedly accepted the things I brought to the table rather than fancy things, Just like my wife said " All we need is time, time to make our family happy, we can make or do things even we don't have enough money on our wallet but the important is we have our family.

How does a father's love help a child feel good about themselves?

And that's it for today's blog,thank you for taking the time to read it,feel free to share your thoughts on the comment section below ☺️. Thank you and may God bless you all✨😉, Ciao!
