My attention is caught by an OFW-related fact - theirs is such an INTRICATE LIFE.

One leaves his homeland, family, comfort zone to tackle the fogged opportunity abroad. He tackles loneliness with a brave heart for every missed momentous family event, for every second sickness takes over physical strength. He willingly exposes himself to great risks when opportunities start to dwindle.
