I asked God,
“How do I get the best out of life?”
God answered,
“Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Don’t believe your doubts and don’t doubt your beliefs.
Trust me.
Life is wonderful if you know how to live!”

It’s been a year…(yeah, that fast...)
So many things have changed…
but one thing didn’t…and that is for my love for my daddy.
July 28.
This is the very same day last year…
that my daddy left us and be with the Lord….
that I was at my lowest point in my life...
that I didn’t know what to do with my life…
that I didn’t know that this thing could ever happen to me and my family.
This is the very same day last year that changed my life.
I can’t believe it’s been a year that my dad passed away.
There were so many things that happened and changed…that some of them, I didn’t like. But I know that is life that I have to deal with.
Yeah…

Yeah…
Life is a continuous struggle but I thank God for the strength that helped me to survive all that came into my life.
Well, I still do cry once in awhile. It hurts that he is gone. But I know where he is now in a better place…a beautiful place where there is peace with our Lord.
And that is a reason for me to smile!

It was a family for us. My mom, sister and I together with my dad’s side went to church for a mass offering for my dad. We went to the cemetery also to visit dad… prayed together…and stayed for awhile. Then back home at my mom’s place, we prayed again…did the traditions and all in the province…they call it for the ”pagbabang luksa”…Something like that. After that the family had lunch together and the house was jam packed. I can’t believe it! haha well…yeah… what’s new? It’s in the province that everyone knows each other…and everyone is like related to each other. Some people came in the house that I do not even know who they were. Oh well, but it’s ayt. hehe but it’s always fun to be with the family especially spending time with the kids…:)
It was kinda a whole day affair…eating and sharing some stories about daddy and the family. It was tiring but fun.
And at the end of the day, I was left alone on my bed.
It was at night that I prayed…thought and remembered different things…overwhelmed by the people whom my daddy has touched…smiled and cried about the memories of my daddy.
Yeah…Life goes on…
But…
I will always remember him…and be thankful for everything of him.
I love him…my daddy.
