    What an amazing Philippines' life. Lots of us are jealous on your journey. It's never a straight road ahead but you're living in a somewhat unpaved path and you chose the one less travelled by while finding the way best suited to your journey. 👍👍 . . . and that has made all the difference

    You deserve a lot of credit, M. You have turned around, worked hard, made great videos, and also worked your ass off for the place you are in now, despite some of it being "by chance". Now: RELAX, take it easy. Live a little. I'm sure 99% of all your members will back you, if you decide to not make a video now and then. ;-) Oh, you got your girls to come out of their shell too.

    I was with a beautiful lady (Filipino, but was a Medical Doctor over here in America) for 25 years. We never married and never had children (our choice). Everyday when she would come home from her clinic or ER - she always said "Andrew, Let's enjoy every moment of life".
    God took her way too soon from this planet; but we did have 25 amazing years together. What I am trying to say - your life and recent 12 months has given me hope again and always make me smile.
    Your channel are one of the few that really make me happy - I wish you and your family all the best and don't forget "enjoy every moment".

    • @DaveHcontrarian
      @DaveHcontrarian Місяць тому +2

      lol, wait until she hits age 11. Of course a little kid is going to say daddy, it is imprinting behavior in animals. But its going to be a task for any step father to keep their step daughters from turning into basket cases because there is nothing a daughter wants more than her real daddy.

    • @NightLetterLondon
      @NightLetterLondon Місяць тому +8

      @@DaveHcontrarian 'turning into basket cases'..? What nonsense. There are many terrible fathers who just turned round and left, and no son or daughter of his will be pining for him. If you have a loving stepfather you grow up grateful, both for yourself and the happiness of your mother. There might be an idle curiosity about your blood father, but nothing more than that. I speak from experience. You are out of order and incorrect.

I've been fortunate, first marriage didn't work out after 8 years, but now married again for over 25 years and very happy and balance. Both Filipina wives.

      I, too, am 83. I feel and think I may have similar feelings and thoughts you have.
      1. Simply accept what is. Wishing or hoping for other than what is will only frustrate you. Just be the best you can be, and let what does happen result as the outcome. Sometimes things happen that we would not have planned for them to unfold the way they did.
      2. Life is a journey for each of us. My journey differs from yours. Your journey differs from your 4 year old Pinay girl who has appeared on the pathway of your journey.
      3. The 35 year old mom has also appeared on the pathway of your journey. Her pathway may not be your pathway, although your pathways may or may not follow the same pathways, directions, or experiences at some moments.
      4. Be grateful for any heart-warming moments, no matter how small they may seem. In our lives in this existence, we get what we get, not what we want. You can try to offer much, but accept what either that 4 year old girl or that 35 year old mom allows or accepts.
      5. None of us should expect others to behave or accept more than they are going to accept. People will do what they will do. We can only offer our best. What others accept is up to them.
      6. Finally, your life has been enriched by experiencing both that 4 year old girl, as well as that 35 year old mom. It may not be what you want or what you had planned, but it is the outcome of what is.
      Conclusion, What it is, is what it is.
