Hey, it's Father's Day today! Well, I know right before, ahead of time that's why I had a long distance call to my dearest Father in Philippines to greet him. He is at home after bouts of being so sick of high blood pressure. He was in the hospital twice already, admitted for hypertension and other ailments such as flu and severe arthritis. I told him that I suffered such kind of ailments high BP when the weather is unruly hot. I had bouts of arthritis pain every now and then but don't mind it as in ignoring the pain most of the time and when the pain is so severe have to deal with it with application of "Voltaren" on the spot where it hurts.
My Father is already 88 years old, retired and a certified genuine VETERAN. The gentleman, the medic, the soldier, the brave and the hero, breadwinner of our family. He is the rescuer of the lost and winners, he is a very hardworking man, he was there where people need help. As a soldier his occupation is the much needed work in times of war and progress. He worked for the Red Cross. He was there where the medical operation, helped in the evacuation of refugees, helped the needy and helped rescue injured people from the ravage war, devastation of flood and earthquake. He was a relief worker. He is a great man, who worked as the chief clerk, administrative office of the military hospital. He was there to guard and post memos non-stop during the Martial law days and years. I was there with him at a very young age at the hospital when he never comes home because guarding the military hospital and injured soldiers need guidance and 24 hour service and support. I have a very long memory. I remember almost everything. It's just that space is not enough to provide stories of real life actions.
I am more than happy and blessed as a daughter to have a good, intelligent, smart Father. I am thankful to have a Father who always think about his family, relatives, and neighbors and other people who are part of his life. His service and duty to God, family, country and mankind never ends. I wish my Father long life, happiness and good health so that he can continue to provide inspirations and hope to the many would be fathers in this generation.
HAPPY FATHER's DAY to my loving and caring TATAY! GOD BLESS YOU!
Cheers!
