Happy Father’s Day

Papa Allan with Brown Pinay and our kids

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.

My Daddy Bert with his apo (not in photo is ali, the latest addition to our family)

A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt.

My brother Onin and Susan with Aila and Ali (inset)

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail…

Tatay Jess (my father-in-law) with Nanay Perla with his apo
A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, and often he knows what you have on your mind.

Kuya Joel (my bayaw) with my Ate Jhe and his kids
He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends!

Tyrone (my bayaw – bro of Allan) with Levi and his kids
He’s proud of your triumphs but when things go wrong A dad can be patient and helpful and strong.

Allan’s Tito Jun, Aldrin (his cousin) and Jesper (his bro))
In all that you do, a dad’s love plays a part There’s always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes you’re even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!
