I was watching some documentary about a family. The video was filmed on a resort in the Philippines, as the family was on a trip together. The father of the family was the focus of the film. The parents' of the father in the video got divorced when he was young and that had a negative impact on him. When he was asked about his childhood, he said he only had bad memories, especially because he remembers his parents arguing almost every day. He had never been on a family trip together with his parents. Because of his sad childhood, he kept saying how he doesn't want to repeat what his parents did to him to his children. The video shows him trying to be a good dad to his three children, and portrays a family trip as one of the things he does to keep up the good relationship of his family.
The video gave me a chance to think about what my childhood was like, and what my parents were like. It made me realize how blessed I am that I have both of my parents with me. I also have a lot of memories of our family vacation. The photos that my dad took while we were on a trip, helps me recall my childhood. My dad loves traveling with the whole family. Whether it's just him, my mom, me and my sister, or including my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, he just likes going to places whenever there's an opportunity. This is one of the things I like about my dad, and hope that my future husband will also be willing and enjoy traveling with me and our family. I'm blessed to have my dad and my mom as my parents, and I am thankful for my childhood memories that my parents provided for me.
