TOUCHING OUR LIVES

Every visitor has their own stories on how the children have touched their lives. Even me, being a staff for four years I have so many stories to share how the children helped me become a better person.

Currently, we have visitors which I believe affluent, very influential and respected in Japan. They came to visit their son. At first, I was thinking that people should be very careful in talking to them. But I was amazed how they reached their hands to us; Filipinos more of to children. They gave their time to share their smile and amazingly dance and sing with the children.

Last night, my tears almost fell down when they said “You are the teachers of my son. You help him become a grown up man and able to share his pure heart, Thank you very much” I may not know the reason behind those lines but I felt the love and respect to their son. Before the program ended, I asked the son to give his message which he did. Though he had never spoken that much… Tears and simplest way of saying thank you to his parents was the one of the best and sincere way of expressing I’ve ever heard and seen.

This way, I am expressing my gratitude to children for touching our lives. They may too young and innocent but even the richest people, by the power of their love and smile, they able to let them smoothen their heart. Indeed, children have the power to be teachers in their own ways. They have touched our lives and they have made us become a better person.

How about you? How did the HOJ children touch you?

Also, the scene last night made me realized that I should give more importance to my family more on to my parents.
