One of my sisters in Manila sent me an e-mail a few weeks ago that broke my heart. She wrote and I am paraphrasing it, "I really want to travel and I don't have anybody to go with. If you were here, we would've gone everywhere!"
What else could I do but just e-mail her back to ask her why she didn't tell me when I was there and I was working in an airline. I realized early on that my sisters are growing up without me. Another price of freedom.
