Yesterday, Oliver left for Davao City to take his IELTS exam. If all goes well (and I believe it will),his next stop will be Manila for medical exams and the start of his working visa process for the UK.
I won’t lie, I feel a bit heavy inside. Knowing he’ll be away for years is not easy and our home already feels different without him here. But behind the sadness, there’s also a quiet excitement because this isn’t just about being apart - it’s about building something bigger for our future.
Our plan is simple yet powerful: while Oliver works abroad, I’ll be here still working on my job while managing and growing our investments. Together, we’re setting ourselves up for the kind of life where we don’t have to depend on a 9-to-5 job. A life where our farm flourishes, where we can travel, enjoy life’s comforts, and most importantly, have the ability to help others too.
This sacrifice today is an investment in tomorrow. And I know that when Oliver comes back, we’ll look at each other and say that it was all worth it. 😊😊💓💓
