Papa,
This will be my 3rd year birthday without you papa. It feels like the year when you just left us. I look back from the times when you passed and tried to compared it now if there is anything that changed. First I am very grateful papa for helping me get the job and i know you are big part of it. I would not be in that job if it was not you who tried to make me feel that no matter you not here physically here but you find you ways for us to see or feel it.
Having to make me enjoy life a little. be able to afford the things i need without having to worry if I will be short the next week. Having to provide little things and be able to help or give back to people that once they got my back. having to hear and show them that I have money to spend not defending on them. It lift me up pa having to hear your relative thanking me for treating them or taking care of them not the other way around is a wonderful feeling.
Papa, I dont know if its childish for me to hold a resentment toward your family (Cousins) but I just cant help it and I am like you who dontt have a problem on showing it to them how I really feels. I tried let it go but each time I see something and its something that they do when they here. it will straight back to what I feel toward them and it will lead me to be hurting. I know you dont really pay attention on them when you are still around its becoz no one really mess with you and I want to continue that papa.
We are not perfect family. We are the family that we dont compete with anyone. You taught us to be humble and no matter what we achieve in life not to forget to leave our feet on the ground.You taught us how to appreciate and be greatful to a little things and most of all papa is how to give value to something that no money can buy. (UTANG NA LOOB). never forget how we get here.
Papa this years all I wish for is to be able to afford a new car. Something that I can look back on what i work hard for. Something that I can call mine. Another year to add papa.
