Some events bring us together. Some events tear us apart.

FAMILY is the only thing constant in this world. No matter what happens, you can always count on FAMILY.

We said goodbye to our dear grandfather last April 2, 2011 – an event that brought us all together once again.

I always hated goodbyes. Saying goodbye was never easy. I will miss Tatay. I will miss looking through his window and checking on him. I will miss chatting with him while I help him eat his meals. I’ll even miss cutting his nails… But I am glad that Tatay has finally joined Nanay in heaven. It was already painful for us to see him in such a helpless position for so long…

Farewell Tatay… you will always be alive in our hearts. Thank you for being a good provider. And as what Mama and the rest of your sons/daughters say, you have been a very good father to them – responsible, loving, and without any vice. You have successfully brought up 8 professionals – midwife, nurse, lawyer, teachers, and engineers. You have sacrificed so much to make all your dreams for your family come true. You worked in Indonesia for years as an OFW, away from your family just to give your them a comfortable life.

We are so PROUD of you and we love you Tatay!
