Today is my Dad’s 1st year death anniversary.
I lit 6 candles today at the Notre Dame Cathedral — three for Dad and three for Nanay Insing. Nanay died on January 18.
I don’t think anybody really gets over a death of a parent. I know I haven’t.
I’m just so terrifically blessed to be my father’s daughter because I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. His selflessness, humility, and quiet strength are just a few of his characteristics that I admire.
His soft heart and giving spirit were and are hard to match.
My Dad outlived his cancer by 16 years when first diagnosed in 1995 — only to succumb to liver cirrhosis and diabetes last year. For some, his life is short, but for us, his life was FULL. With everything he has accomplished in his life, I think God was more than satisfied with the life he led.
If only I can be half the person my Dad is.
I miss you Daddy!
