REMEMBERING DAD ALL THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF JUNE AND AS ALWAYS

I know it’s too late for a Father’s Day greeting as the dear day for Dads was already celebrated a week ago. For our family though, the entire month of June is my Dad’s day, err, my Dad’s month. Why? The 3rd of June was supposedly his 56th Birthday, the 2nd Sunday of June as the “official” Father’s Day celebration in Pinas and among other countries, and today, the 25th of June, was his 1st Death Anniversary.

I don’t wish to pour in scribblings of sorrow today as we in the family remember this very faithful day. True enough, nothing could be more painful than to suffer the loss of someone so dear–especially if that one person was that of who gave you your life. There are no exact words to describe how much I missed my Dad especially at moments when silence, depression, and tiredness set my heart and mind yearning.

But just the same, I’d like to believe he is at peace now. He may not be physically present for us, but I know that in spirit, he continues to guide us–his departed, wherever he may be. So to my Dad, on this very day, let me just say that I really missed you so much. For whatever heartaches we have caused each other in the past, I’d always believe that those are meant to show our love and concern for one another.

I love you Dad. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I’ll treasure all of them in my heart (not only during Father’s Day, or your Birthdates, or at your Death Anniversaries) but all throughout my life forever.

    Hi Feng, I share your sorrow in losing your father. I lost mine a year ago too. The pain is still there, and I don’t think it will ever go away. The one thing I console myself with is that I know that he is in a better place. A place where there is no pain and is full of love and joy.

    Our fathers are now at peace and are in the presence of the greatest of all fathers. That in itself should be enough reason for us to rejoice. God bless you Feng…and no more tears.

    hi rhodora, yes, my father passed away too soon. but i’d like to believe he’s at peace now.

    re: Nico’s sad face in the photo. doesn’t he looked innocent. actually that’s his facial expression whenever we go to visit my Dad in his resting place. alam nyang nag pass away na Lolo Daddy nya.

    hello SexyMom. and may God bless their souls. we missed them dearly, don’t we.

    hi Kongkong, i guess God has His purpose for letting those things happen. i’d like to believe too that my Dad’s at peace now. and yes, no more tears now. i know he’s still with us in spirit. :)
