My father died because of liver cancer ... I was only seven by that time ... I remember when the doctor said ... They have nothing to do with him ... he is dying ... but my father still tries to fight 'cause he still want to live ... he asked to go home to the place where he was born ... that was on the month of september .... sept. 22, 2007 it was his birhtday ... instead of celebrating he was at the hospital ... wanting to go home ... I dont know what to do seeing him so helpless ... I cannot accept defeat 'cause im just seven and cant help but pray for him ... October 07, 2007 12:00 am ... my tita woke us up ... playing "LUPANG HINIRANG ON TV" .. after the hymn ... we slept back ... and a few hours passed by .. i cannot slept ... i felt somebodys whispering ... then i sit beside father ... i thought he was calling my name and asking for coffee or an oat ... but he was already dead ... and i dunno what to do then but cried .... after he was buried ... it was a long time to forget ... and when i came back from my innocence people told me that i was about to jump my fathers grave because i dont want him to be buried ... and that no one could even try to talked to me ... 'cause i never spoke since it happened ...

Young Woman,
Because you are a woman,
Though there is a part of you still a young girl,
I didn't expect to be here today or to read these words
but they touch the very core of my heart
I can feel your love so much for your Tatay
I love like I recall only in distant memory and lost
I want you to know, without any doubt at all in my feelings..
He feels your love....I'm certain and felt a sixth sense..so strongly
as I read through your words
I'm sad for you, realizing the depth of your love for him
You never forgot.
But you don't really understand...
You have given your father the most wonerful gift a father can have:
True love, respect and admiration
I knew there was something I felt in your previous poems and I said so
But now I know what I was feeling all along...
A pure heart

Keep that heart! Fight through sadness and sorrow and be determined to make something good out of life.....find happiness and peace.....that's what he would have wanted. Most of all I'm sorry that you and he had to part but he remains a guardian in your life and in your emotions and so that part of him is alive and with you always.

I'm certain he feels your Father's Day wishes because where hearts are involved there are not earthly boundaries. Find comfort in this...that we will all lose someone we love someday....but very few will ever enjoy the special bond of love that you and he have. So smile and know when you smile, your father will smile with you, likley with tears of happiness in his eyes, feeling loved.

No gift could possibly be greater than that! So please find comfort when you read this.

you really made me cry ... my father is my life ... and until now im still longing for his love ... sometimes when i feel so down i just talk even no one is around ... cause i know he listens and give me comfort even if i cant see him ... i really love him ... so much ...

my mom died of the similar thing of cancer and i try holding it in to my mom was my life to so if you need to talk about this write to me anytime and i hope you feel better xoxo-bri1234

thanks for your concern ... now im feeling better .... 'cause somebody cares for me ... thank you for the two of you !!!

When you think of your dad, you have reason to smile. Smile through your tears because there is reason to be happy because what you have with your Tatay something you'll always have. God Bless You always! It does my own wounded heart good to know of people like you. I can count those I've met in a lifetime on my fingers I think...but to me you have reminded me of the best things in life: Thank You! Life is fragile but it is precious...more should treat it so

know what morninglight ... i know my father wanted me to go through and still fight my right ... and each time i failed of whatever i am doing ... i always chill ... stand and chin up ... but most people say ... i can never hide sorrows behind my smile cause my eyes shows ...
