My youngest son's Yaya Liza, is leaving us already tomorrow morning.  Liza has been with us for two years, practically since my youngest son was three months old.  She's coming home to welcome the new year with her family.  She's from Bantayan, Cebu and working in Manila is painstaking for her old parents who already misses her so much.

As much as I want her to come back, which believe me I tried hard to negotiate by increasing her salary, allowing her to come home twice a year and giving other privileges, she's already getting homesick.  I just have to let go.  

How My Son Feels

I'm a bit sentimental because my son loves her very much.  Just a mention of her leaving him to come home to her family, makes him cry out loud.  My son may not understand that his yaya is leaving him already, but I feel very sad for him.  In fact, I'm already in tears writing this post because I know that it will be hard for him to be separated from the person who's been taking care of him even before he could walk.  My son is a very sweet little boy which made his yaya Liza very attached to him.  Tonight will be their last night together.
