Happy Father’s day

Happy fathers day in heaven Tatay. 24 years ago you joined our creator. Though my children could no longer remember you I keep on telling and retelling them of the memories I had with you.

How would I forget the Sundays we would go to Pay Totoy’s house and you would talked about God’s word all day long. While my sibblings are busy playing, I would sit beside you as if I understand old peoples topic. Those were the best sunday school, no teacher and am not a student, just listening to you and Pay Totoy’s discourse.

My cousins who were our neighbors may have forgotten the full moon where after dinner we would gather outside and would hear stories from you. I can no longer remember the stories but I can still vividly see in my memory, your face, the moon rays, the tree and the shadow of our house.

During those days when we can hardly meet our needs, you would always say. “As God send a raven to Elija. He will send someone to us.” I always believe that, until now.

You have given us more than enough to sustain life in this troubled world. Not material position ” where moth and rust and destroys and where thieves break in and steal”, but the legacy of faith, your zealousness in the ministry, your calmness of spirit amidst all troubles, your grateful heart and happy disposition. I remember it all and call myself blessed enough to have a father like you.
