Our family will never forget every 27th of June. It was four years ago, since my father whom we call "Tatay" passed away to be with our Lord. Our hearts are filled with peace and joy that he's with our God now and not suffering any more pain ( as he had died from Cancer) but we can't deny that there will always this void in our hearts because we just miss him so much.
We were just truly blessed by God to have a great man for a father. He was humble and meek. Never have I seen him raise his voice to my mother nor acted in anger. Yes, he did got angry but he was a man of self control and patience. He was also a man of wisdom and gives great counsel. Many people from different walks of life would come to him and he is ready to listen to them, give counsel and help them in whatever way he can. We would always joke before that he can easily become a Barangay Captain ( like a district/village head) When he came to know the Lord in 1993, he had passion for God and passion for the lost. Wherever he went, he would tell them about what Jesus has done to mankind. There were times that he would just go out to have his haircut but it took him hours before he came back. That was because, he was talking to the barber and sharing about God's love for them.
He was a man of prayer and a worshiper. I could still remember the last days of his life. When even in pain and without his voice, but he would still worship God with all of his might. Whenever he felt pain, he would ask us to pray for him. Such faith, and such love for our God.
HIs life would always serve as an example and as an inspiration for me. That's why that I'm always grateful to God that he gave me such a father . Even if his life seemed short but it was indeed a life worth living. Lives were touched and most especially our lives - his children and his family.
God has indeed blessed us and this is one great miracle that I consider in my life..having wonderful parents and family!
