Mommy Please Come Home



When I was a kid, mom and dad were always away to work. I was left with my auntie. This auntie of mine is my mother's sibling. She's still single and very good to me. She's taking care of me like I'm her own. By then I started calling her mommy.   


She sends and fetches me to school whenever she's free. She always buys stuffs for me. My cousins got envy whenever she does it. We really got closed to each other. One day she told me she has to go abroad to work. I was left crying. I was even sent to the hospital because my weight dropped. I cannot eat well.




As days and months passed by, I learned to live away from her. We exchange letters every now and then. I keep on writing her the things I want her to send me like toys, shoes and clothes. Good thing telephone arises; I don’t have to wait for weeks before I’ll have her response. We don’t have a phone in our house that time so I need to travel to town just to talk to her.
                One day my real mom bought a cellular phone, a huge and heavy cellular phone. It is as big as two detergent soap bars. Since then, mommy and I talked more often and I remember I cried several times too over the phone because she said “I can’t go home for Christmas, just enjoy yourself okay?!”

Years have gone so fast and I grew fast too. One time mommy and I had an online date. She couldn’t believe what she saw when I turned on my webcam. I’m already a teenager. I’m almost as tall as she is. Since then we often use the internet to talk. I even ask my grandparents to stay in front of the webcam so that mommy can see them too.

Technology really serves us greatly. It can make people meet even thousands of miles is between them. I’m very thankful the people beyond the technology we’re enjoying right now but I can’t still help myself from saying, “Mommy please come home!”

this technology called Internet for me is like drugs because I can not live without.... also because it allows me to do and foremost to see and speak with my relatives and friends who are in the Philippines ..Luckily, there's Internet..^_^

today's technology is a great help for us.. we can easily communicate to other people especially to our family even though they are far away from us.. before, we can send our thoughts by using only telegrams or sending a mail.. but now, we have the internet.. we can reach out in any part of the world..

Many people can relate to your story and for sure I'm also one of them. :P
Well, it is true that technology makes our life convenient. And one of the advantages is that we are capable to reach our loved ones who are far away from us. We can communicate and even see them without going to the exact place where they lived or destined. That's how powerful technology is. We are very blessed that we are now experiencing such things like this, but we should never forget to consider the limitations.

Connecting to those people miles away from us, is just one of the good things technology is giving us. We could also search and find long lost friends and even relatives we weren't able to meet personally (on social networks). Internet is really a great invention made by human. We can learn so much using the net, it makes research a lot way easier than decades ago. These are just some of the good things but let us also consider the disadvantages it gives. Because as they say "Too much of something is bad".

Without you, technology, the communication would have been impossible.

This story still reminds us that technology is all around us. All of these things -- the instruments we write or communicate with, the tools we use for repairs, and the equipment through which we see or hear objects more clearly -- were designed by engineers and help us in our daily lives. We should be thankful to those people who shared their knowledge/abilities and hardwork to make our lives easier.

This is a good blog. I hope that technology, as you said, brings your loved ones close to you even in cyberspace. I hope that you can now use this as a means of communicating with her and others as you go along.

Good job.
