Thanking GOD, i still have my DADDY


God the Father , thank you for your great and undying LOVE and MERCY for us all,HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO YOU! thank you for giving me a DAD,thank you he lives healthily still, and for bearing with your stubborn daughter.




I am thankful that i still have my father to give affection too, to love and still get to hear me when i say i love him, to drive me on mornings, rain or shine, supportive of me, we may not agree at times LOL, because of whom else would i have inherited my stubborness but him :) and my good looks ahahahahaha. First time ive acknowledged i am his carbon copy.

I used to remember when i was young and just started nursery we were in a hammock (DUYAN), where we usually have our bonding time and he was not away assigned in some dangerous other parts of the Philippines, he taught me to count, and know the time and so many pep talks and most specially to make the sign of the cross, to always pray the Rosary, and carry it in our pockets at all times, and the Lord of Pardon, this he told us was what kept him sane, hopeful and safe from so many dangerous missions.

In that hammock he formed me, he sang me songs which til now i remember,one was a militay song in Tagalog and one in English, but what i remember most is PAUL ANKAS~ TIMES OF YOUR LIFE : He sang that to me everytime til i could sing bits and pieces which only now i got to really appreciate and to me its always he's song to me:

Times Of Your Life :
Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life? (do you remember?)

Reach out for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the setting sun (the setting sun)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

theres so many anecdotes my dad always tell us , to treat people equally and respectfully, whatever status, to give respect, he's jokes that even if you remember it years after we still laugh heartily, and most times has lessons to be learned, to listen to what people have to say, and on arguments : less talk less mistake, and to always in everything in our lives to put God first, and to fight for what is right, specially in Gods eyes, even if its not a popular course or decision to take.

so many still i want to write about my dad, this does not even scratch the surface. All i want to say for now is i really thank you LORD GOD , i still have a living breathing good Dad. THANK YOU FOR giving us him. I LOVE YOU DADDY! HAPPY FATHERS DAY! :)
