For occassions like this, i would always miss those fun and laughter gathered together to celebrate such as a day of my father's birthday. September 17 marks another year added to my father's life. Its suppose to be a celebration of love and happiness for another year passes by for him. If only he was still here then i could utter such word as "Happy Birthday, Tatay!". "We love you and be happy on your day".
Yes he has passed away last April 10, 2010. That was the last time we saw him. The last time he spent his life with us together in this world. Those brave eyes that i would not dare forget co'z it have made such a remark to me. To fierce eyes that have played a great pride for a father named ROMEO C. EREZO. Those eyes have been our gateway to discover life. Co'z because of his eyes he left a mark of a bright future for me and my siblings.
The last time i touched those hands always reminded me of the strength he possess. Those hands that has carried the Erezo family. Those hands that has played a great part in bringing up hope despite of failures, courage despite of hindrances and fighting spirit despite of troublesome moments. His hands has been our light and our saviour when coping with the life's strifes. I would always feel those hands.
My father is the greatest of all. He has been an idol for his friends. HE has been a star for his family and has been the bravest soul in the eyes of God.
Its roughly 5 months now. His soul might be around our family and he always sees us and watch over us. He is still protecting us with his hugs through the winds, his tears with the rain and his laughters with the sunlight. We miss him.
To my beloved father, ROMEO EREZO, this is my only gift that i can offer on your birthday. The simplicity of this gift are the mere words written on this ode but laying on it is the truth that I, (we) are still remembering you always in our hearts and minds. Your journey has been passed to us to complete and with arms wide open, we are hugging this new beginning of our family. A beginning you have started and will soon be completed.
We love you and we will never forget you. YOU are the greatest among all fathers for us. YOU have completed us. YOU have bestowed us the life that we never expected. YOU have played our shelter through the storm. YOU have played the voice when we can't speak. YOU have been the book of our life as you have shown us the different chapters of how to go on and persuade everything that we can. YOU are our soulmate and you will always be our BELOVED HEAD OF THE FAMILY.
I Love You Tatay and may this day does not mean the end but just another year for you to accomplish task HE has given you. Consider this day as another book you are opening and soon to share to us.
Happy Birthday and May you always stay happy and all our tears flowing down from our yes today are happiness that we are sharing with you for a great life.
We miss you and please always be around for us.
