ill stop talking about my problems, feelings for a while now.. Besides, it doesn't help anyway..
ill post blogs about stuffs other than my bullshit problems naman.. you might be tired reading those stuffs.
ANYWAY..
On the lighter side...
today is July 10, 2007.
63 years ago, a baby boy was born.. he was the first child of the family.
living those 63 years was not easy..
during those years were pain, tears, hardships..
but besides those hardships, he remained strong, not only for his self but most especially for his loved ones.
he remained strong because of his strong faith to the Holy One.
i was not able to witness those 63 years, but only about a third of those long years..
and those few years that i spent with him was spent far from each other. i was only able to see him at least 2 months every 2 or 3 years. i was only able to have a conversation with him over the phone or thru mails. and i was only able to see the changes that happens to him physically through pictures.
i wasn't there when he cried. i wasn't there when his in pain. i wasn't there to support him. i wasn't there to see him laugh. i wasn't there to observe his actions, and i wasn't there to witness everything that happens to him.
but though i wasn't able to spent my life near that guy, i still do admire him, in fact, he is my hero.
and on his 63rd birthday today, i want to greet him a very very happy birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY my hero.
happy birthday Papa.
i always tell you this, but im gonna say it again, I LOVE YOU.
words are not enough to say how grateful I am that that boy who was born the same day as today, 63 years ago, became my Father.
again, Thank you, Happy Birthday, and I Love You.
the following is my brother's e-mail to him.. to our Father..
"Time flies when you're having fun"
That's what they all say right? Well, 63 years has passed by in your life so quickly, but has it been all fun? No... I know quite a bit because I have been part of a few of those years, 30 to be exact. There has been blood, sweat and tears, sadness, distress and sorrows. Yes. it wasn't all happiness all the time, it wasn't all laughter and joy.
But you know what? Through it all you have persevered, you did your best to be a good father to us, and a good husband to Mama.
Did you succeed? Yes you did, you have been a great Father then, you are a great father now and I know you will continue to be until the end.
I never really truly realized how I love all of you until I went here. In a way I am very thankful this happened to me, because I found out a lot about myself, how I truly treasure my right to worship GOD, how I truly love my girlfriend, how I truly love all our relatives and of course, how much I truly love all of you. It opened my eyes to a lot of things, like how I am a kid, maybe not in age, but in my mentality.I learned all of my shortcomings as a son, as a nephew as a boyfriend and as a brother.
I also learned what I need to do to be a "Man", or in other words to be like my father.
For if there is someone who I will pattern my life after, it would be the life of a certain Felix, Mr. Felix Y. Zarate, my role model, my hero, my best friend, but most of all, "My Father"
