Today is a special day because the first man of my life just turned 46! Whenever there are birthday celebrations in my family, expect me to be home-bound. That's why a month ago, I already requested for today's day off . I just wanted to be home on his day. And yes I believe that the angels in heaven are throwing him a big birthday party. I can figure out he is wearing a white shirt and ivory-colored shorts which is his usual outfit while he was still living in his former residence. Then my great Lola is there together with her one and only love, my Lolo, giving their gift to my Pap which is of course their big warm hug. Then I imagined God winking at me saying "I told you, they are at peace with Me".
I'm on duty at the dawn of his birthday. Though my admissions kept coming in, I paused for a while to send my birthday greeting. I missed my silent man, my silent angel whom I know is just around watching over his grown ups. Then in the stillness of dawn, I happened to hummed this song:
..Sing me a song again, Daddy
Sing me a lullaby
Wrap me inside your arms, Daddy
Though this is not goodbye
Your songs will live forever
In my heart when times get rough
THE ONES I'LL MOST REMEMBER
ARE YOUR SONGS OF LOVE...
Happy 46th birthday Pap!
Happy b-day Papa! We love you..
