Today should have been a great celebration of my parents 52nd Wedding Anniversary. But alas, both of them are gone and in heaven with the rest of our loved ones that has gone before us. I truly miss them both and its a strange feeling to have no parents to call just to talk to and see how are things…both of them were retired and lived in the Philippines at a house that my Dad built for my Mom. I don’t know how long before the pain goes away, but its truly hard for me, just breathing one min at a time…The house now belongs to all of us (me, Cecile, Jojo & Gigi). I have not been back to see it – but my sisters/brother have and here’s just a few of the pics that I would like to share with you.

Happy 52nd Wedding Anniversary Dad & Mom…we love you both very much and are dearly missed by all your children and grandchildren! Love always from your children – Kathy, Ian, Cecile, Jojo, Vickie and Gigi; Grandchildren – Adam, Chad & Charlie
I lost my Dad just last year and this is very hard for me – losing one parent is hard enough but when you lose both just shy of a year its a total blow. My mom was buried on my Dad’s birthday (June 20th) and this month is very hard, as Father’s Day is today and tomorrow is or would have been my parents 52nd Wedding Anniversary!
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it … Dad
~~Author Unknown.~~
Here’s another poem that I liked as well…he just wasn’t Dad, as a little he was my Daddy…
A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She’ll always find him there.
Even you are not here with us and left this world to be with your brother, cousins, mom, dad, and our lord jesus christ – we truly miss you and we’ve not forgotten you Dad, I miss you everyday…Just wished you were here still with us but I know you’re in a good place and looking out for us.
Happy Birthday Dad – you would have been 84 young – you were taken away from us on January 24 2008 you were only 83 yrs young.
I love you Dad and miss you
Even though this is your celebration – its also Mom’s funeral. She will be with you at the same place. We truly miss you both!!
Apology for not being more attentive and active on my blog, there are lot of items that I need to blog about, but due to some family emergency, I will be “away” for while. I lost my Mom a few weeks ago and trying to get some stuff in order and not feeling like “talking” to anyone right now.
We are hanging in there, as we need to be… we are flying home to bury my Mom and we truly are not orphans, having lost both parents at a short time frame. My Dad left us Jan 24th 2008 and now Mom left us May 23rd 2009! I made a page just for Mom same with Dad…
Dorothy D Reyes will be buried June 20th at the family crypt where my Dad is layed to rest. I don’t know when I will be able to come back…its just not a good time for me….
I could not fathom why they did that and I read the blog from Mercola.com and I was totally outrage to hear that they did that illegally! The FDA is getting pissed off cuz the majority of people want to stop eating shit that they put on the food and we want to eat HEALTHY! so we choose to be in a CO-OP so that we know what we are eating is good for us. I’m just really totally mad and I hope that the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Government pay this family back to what they’ve done illegally in the first place!
You will be upset when you read this and see this video, please people let’s put a stop to this, there are more people starving around the world and right in our back door!
Check these guys out on NAB Radio – this video was taken in Colorado and the song is not yet released! So y’all been privilege to have a listen and watch the video!

In surfing the net, I found this video which was a response to another video of the anthem, in the end of it, ask us a question… What’s next? …music is by Black Eyed Peas
I love their music as it has meaning.. the video is powerful….
I found this from You Tube from another version, but found this to be so nice as it shows some big names stars in the Philippines, now, I have no idea who some are, as its been a long time since I’ve lived there. But am sure some of you will recognize the faces, the only face I recognize is he’s a comedian, always starred with Susan Roces and Fernando Poe Jr (okay, am showing my age here, but can’t remember his name!)OMG… :O oh well am sure someone will tell me or I will remember sometime…hope you enjoy it as much as I did watching it.
Just wanted to know if someone can translate it to English?
