Father

He was a good and caring brother to his siblings, always made sure their needs were taken care of. He had gone to great ends to support them, financially, physically and also emotionally.

He was a loyal and amiable friend. He had helped many people in his life and because of this, he had gained many close acquaintances. He treated his friends like his family, always willing to help no matter what. He believed that ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.’

He was a good father to his children. He would check on them at night to make sure there’re alright before going to bed. He loved to make his children happy, telling them funny stories and jokes, bringing them out for a joyride and even jungle tracking. He worked hard so that he could provide the best for his children.

He was a good husband to Erica. He tried starting a business but he was unsuccessful. He didn’t give up trying because all he ever wanted was to give her a good life. He was persistent even until the day he died.

But…

You’re never the above to my mother and me.

I always wonder why you had abandoned me.

I hated you in the past but now I’ve forgiven you.

You will always be the father I never knew.

Now that I’ve made my peace,

I hope you rest in peace.
