9 hrs 36 minutes

that is the amount of time i get to spend with my dad for 48 weeks out of 52 in the year.
9 hrs and 36mins
my parents aren't separated. or divorced.
this is just the way we live. my family and so many others in goa.
i have to condense a week's happenings into 12 minutes of phone time.
i swear, if i ever have kids, i will be with them. at least in the same country as they.
my parents had to make the choice they did, circumstances forced them to.
but i refuse to let that happen to me.
i have no idea how i'm going to ensure that-but i will!

No parent can even think of wanting to stay away from each other, let alone staying away from their kids. Its your future that they've sacrificed so much for. I like your thought of keeping your family with you at all times. its good, i respect that !!
