Dearest Dad

You are the greatest.

We can’t ask for more.

God gave us you, our DAD, our soul.

You taught us strength.

You showed us courage.

We’ll be grateful til our last breath.

And now that we seldom meet,

We sometimes ask

How did life become such a big cheat?

But we know this is a test.

We learned to be thankful despite life’s pests.

DAD, we wonder how you are.

We miss your funny antics.

We miss our TV hours.

We miss the soup you cook for us.

We miss business talks you so eagerly discuss.

DAD, we miss you.

Til we meet again someday.

Thank you for the memories that bind us together now.

Thank you for your love that will bind us forever.

Our family will go on with you in our hearts.

Our failures, our triumphs, our fears, our hopes

In everything, we know

We’ll be okay for you brought us up this way.

You will always be our reason for dreaming.

You will always be our reason for being.

Till we meet again, dearest DAD…

Dearest Dad

Vevey Bound

My sister is off to Vevey, Switzerland on Saturday.  She will be staying there for three years.  She made a wishlist of what she wants us to pack for her shipment which will reach her in 2 months.  In her list, there was Spam, Dried Mangoes, Pork Leg and Lucky Me.  I asked if she wanted to bring Chocnut.  She said Switzerland is the land of chocolates. But then again, Chocnut is so Filipino.  I am tasked to help my mom in packing for the shipment.  I will pack some Chocnuts for her.

Jered Bit Me!

After a day's work, I get home to my mom's place and see my nephew.  I tapped his shoulder. He looks at me and smiles.  He stops whatever he is doing, runs to me and gives me a small tight hug. He puts his head on my shoulder then... bites me! I think this is his way of telling me he loves me. Diko loves you too, Jered.  Someday, I'll bite you back! hahahha
