THANK YOU!

My mother raised me without my father and she did it very well. But there comes a time that she had to move on with her life and got married to my stepfather and had her own family to attend to. I felt very bad at that time and so I decided to go with my Aunt to another place where she also got married and there I took my high school. When I was in 2nd year high school, my teacher in Filipino subject (Mrs. Leonora Urata) asked me if I'm willing to stay with them while studying. And I said yes because I want to lessen the burden of my aunt because she also have her own children to think of. 
 Since then, Mam Nora shouldered all my needs in school until I finished my degree. I'm very thankful and blessed for I have met them once in my life.
Me, Ma'am Nora and her Husband, Sir Tony
 Indeed, "Poverty is not a hindrance to Education" even if my parents could not send me to school, I got my own will to make it.

Meeting my Dad for the first time

The man in the picture is my father, I just met him last year in Cebu. I am thankful that our flight from Dipolog City-Manila was a connecting flight via Cebu, that's why even in a very short span of time we actually hugged each other for the first time in my whole life. I've been dreaming, wishing and praying to meet him for a long time and after 27 years that was finally happened.

I have written a poem for him before we met and it goes like this: via Facebook
