Dearest Tatay,
I am very happy with my married
life. God blessed me with a loving and wonderful husband. But there are still
times I wish I can go back being your baby girl... I terribly miss our movie
marathons, how you say, “Ang sarap ng luto mo Anak!” (kahit parang bola lang
minsan), I miss our morning jogging, I miss our trips to thrift stores, I miss
everything of you Tatay. Miles away from you is not easy at all.
Yesterday, we attended church
service at Every Nation and they shared some clips from the movie “Courageous”,
it’s about four men who are serving as law enforcement officers yet find it
hard to face and tackle the real meaning of, fatherhood. All the father’s were
given a copy of The Father’s Resolution, and as I read it, you exactly did all
what was mentioned a father should do to fulfill his duties.
Tatay, we are so blessed to have
you. I have witnessed how you loved Mommy dearly and dedicated your life until
her last breath. You were very hurt to see her go but you stood strongly for
us. Until now it still amazes me how you covered your pain with strength so
that it will be easier for us to accept and let her go. You brought us up with
God’s words in our hearts. Your love gave us the right direction in life. Your
faith in God gave us strength to accept the trials and face it through prayers.
Your life reflects what a father
should be. Your kindness to all the people around you makes me so proud being
your daughter. Tatay, thank you for the great love that you have showered us,
this same love made me a complete and better person. Soon, I promise you will
be a happy grandpa! But for now, let me savor the moments being your baby
girl...
I love you Tatay! Happy Father’s
Day
To my Grandfather and Uncles who are Super TATAYS as well, I love you all!
