I hugged my wife, and we both cried with happiness.And when Nam said proudly,<strong>\u201c<\/strong>Dad, Mom, I bought a house!\u201d my heart nearly burst with joy.That house was worth millions \u2013 something I never thought my son, who developed in poverty, could ever afford. In that moment, all our sacrifices suddenly made sense.Nam later invited his wife\u2019s parents to live with him so he could take care of them. I didn\u2019t object and it looked natural to me. The only thing that mattered was his happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, I would stop by just to see my grandchildren and ease the loneliness of the countryside.One evening, I arrived in Manila right before dinner.I thought I\u2019d share a warm meal with my family. But as soon as I entered the house, Nam frowned and said loudly,\u201cDad, why didn\u2019t you call before coming?\u201dI froze, then forced a smile.I just missed you, son. I caught a ride and came straight here.\u201dMy daughter-in-law\u2019s parents chatted cheerfully while she served them food. Nam barely glanced my way, hardly providing me a portion.I ate, but every bite tasted like sand.That night, I couldn\u2019t sleep. I gazed at the ceiling of the guest room, feeling like a stranger in the house my own son \u2013 the boy I once carried through muddy fields \u2013 had built with his hands.Around midnight, I got thirsty and quietly stepped out. Passing by Nam\u2019s room, I overheard their voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son Nam is the greatest pride of my life.My wife and I are simple country people \u2014 we survive through hard work and sweat, saving every&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":105,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38156,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38154\/revisions\/38156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/38155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
