i miss talking to you…
i miss you kidding around with me…
i miss your driving me to work…
i miss you at the dinnertable…
i miss your shushing me when i get really loud while watching a basketball game on tv…
i miss having to tell you: you’ve already asked me that a while ago…
i miss your letting me go out anytime i want to, as long as i tell you where i’m going and who i’m going out with… and who’s going to take me home…
i miss telling you to stop watering the plants, you’ve already watered them this morning, while you’re watering them at noon…
i miss your big smile everytime i give you chocolates which you soooo love…
i miss our conversations during dinnertime…
i miss your waking me up on a saturday morning by tickling my knees…
i miss your saying: lasing ka na naman daw umuwi kagabi – while i’m having a major hangover the day after a late night out, your tone with no hint of reprimand but a tone of you laughing a little at me…
i miss a lot about you dad… and having you just a wall away… banging your feet at the floor in the wee hours of the night that have me jumping in bed lotsatimes thinking that you’ve fallen off the stairs… and i can’t do anything (or i probably could, but i don’t know what or how) about it… there are nights that i sometimes cry in bed, hearing you pushing your bed around your room…
i haven’t stopped praying that you’ll get better soon, knowing full well that my prayers have a slim chance of being granted… tomorrow, you’ll be 65… i’m thankful that you’re physically well… i’m just forever hopeful that you’ll come back… happy birthday dad.
that is so sweet. i remember writing something like that for my dad. Happy Birthday sa kanya.
Btw ito na ang url ko from now on. Nasuspend ang Nomadic Thoughts ko eh. Salbahe ata ako.
thanks. di ko na sya nakakausap. haay. eniwei, nakita ko nga na suspended. updated na yung link mo, before mo pa sabihin. π
Just keep showing him your love. He feels it, I’m sure… Happy birthday to your dad… π
thanks. i know he feels it also.
di ko masyado naintindihan kung bakit di mo na nakakausap dad mo..pero I hope everything will be fine. nice letter naman for your dad.
he’s sick gasti. i sooper miss him na nga. pero yung sakit nya kse, parang wala pang gamot eh. haay.
that is so sweetness! im sure he misses and loves you as well. i hope he does get better though. π
thanks trish. parang slim to nil chance of him getting better eh. then again, nothing’s impossible in this world. π
hayy, i miss my tatay, too, buti na lang uwi kami neks yir sa pinas .. am praying for your tatay..
thanks! maybe, HE’ll listen and make my dad better. π
Miss him, too. I also remember so many things about your dad especially those days when he and your mom were still a-courting!!!!

prayer and lots of love…:)
thanks neng. i’m forever hopeful (na di na dapat yata).
[…] hindi sya kaya paliguan ng 1 tao lamang. i don’t get to interact much with my dad much (see the things i miss about him). he doesn’t speak much either. mga words like na-na-na-na malimit ang mga nasasambit nya. […]
