[…] Day has passed again. I didn’t anticipate that I would be sentimental about it, but just like last year, there was this inevitable longing to have someone to hug and say, “Happy Father’s Day, […]

[…] Missing Daddy on Father’s Day. As I said, I’ve learned that crying does not change the situation, but simply a release so that one has more room to fill with strength to cope, and to move on — at least that’s how it has worked for me. Come to think of it, no occasion will ever be the same again. There will always be that empty seat in Christmasses, and birthdays, and anniversaries, to come.

haaay ayokong puntahan blog mo eh, dahil alam kong may post na ganito :p i dreamt of tito bob a few days ago. nasa sbc, wearing a black polo shirt. he was seated beside tita norma. nakangiti lang siya. yun lang, no situation, no one else i remembered but the two of them.

alam mo riz minsan ineexpect ko pa rin talagang paglingon ko sa empty seat beside me (remember i always used to sit beside tito bob during service)…ineexpect kong makikita ko pa rin si tito bob nakaupo don :( tas i dunno if it’s screwed, pero minsan parang naririnig ko pa rin yung ubo niya or yung tawa niya during worship service. i miss him too :)

The first year is always the hardest Riz. It will get better but of course our dads will ALWAYS be with us no matter the years that have gone.
