A few seconds ago, I got a friend request from my cousin Ate She. We became cousins because her father and my father are brothers. We used to be very close when we were young and It’s been ages since I last saw her and her family, if I’m not mistaken it was in my father’s wake.
As I browse through her online album, my tears fell infinitely on my cheeks when pictures of my Kakang Eliz flashed in my laptop screen. He looks alot like my father.. and seeing him again intensifed my longing for my tatay. It’s been four years since my dad passed away and until now the pain is still fresh, as if it only happened yesterday.
My dad and I are very close and for me he was the best father in the world. No one can ever compare to what my father did for me and our family. When I was little, I remember him helping me with my homework, teaching me how to read, write and count, accompanying me to school, attending the PTA’s and attending my graduation… I can’t help crying whenever I go through these memories. He is also a very cool dad always joking around, playing playstation and “tanching” with me and my friends, texting me with jokes and calling me on the phone for no reason at all, his love for us is unconditional.. How I miss all of these..!
Just like any father, his dream for us is very simple..for me and my sister to finish our studies.. When I graduated I know he was very happy for me seeing me walk up the stage accepting my diploma, the look on his face is irreplaceable.. and when I passed the board exams he was more than happy and proud. I remember talking to one of his closest friends.. he told me that my father was sooo proud of me, and that he always tell his friends how lucky he is to have me as her daughter. I burst into tears hearing all that and until now I can’t help crying remembering the words that his friend said. A few months from now my sister will graduate from college and I know that my dad would be so proud that his two princess has fulfilled his lifelong dream.
I never had a chance to say anything to my dad on that fateful day, i never had a chance to thank him for everything, to tell him how much i love him and to make up for the things i did wrong.. things that I regret until now .. but despite of our sudden separation.. I am still thankful and our only consolation is that he was not put into much suffering because that would have been more painful for him and for us.. My dad had lived a good life and I know that he is already with our Creator.. and that he will always be around watching over us, protecting us, helping us, and loving us… but more importantly, I know that he will always be in our hearts, so he knows and feels everything we want to tell him.. he knows how much we love him..
WE LOVE YOU TATAY ROMY AND WE MISS YOU SOO MUCH!
