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

DEAR DAD

I JUST WANNA THANK YOU DAD

FOR MAKING ME GLAD

FOR ALL THE GOOD AND BAD

FOR ALL THE MOMENTS IN MY LIFE, HAPPY OR SAD

EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE NOT AROUND FOR ME

I KNOW IN YOUR HEART YOU THINK OF ME

BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE SEEN THE BEST OF ME

YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME

I HAVE GONE THROUGH ROCKY ROADS OF LIFE

THAT MADE ME STRONG ENOUGH TO STRIVE

I DIDN’T KNOW HOW WAS YOUR LOVE TO ME

YOU’RE SO FARAWAY TO MAKE ME FEEL AND SEE

AS A LITTLE GIRL I LONG TO HUG AND EMBRACE YOU

THE OLDER I GOT, THE MORE I WANNA BE WITH YOU

AS A LADY I WANNA SHARE MY EVERYTHING TO YOU

ALL MY SUCCESS IN LIFE WAS DEDICATED TO YOU

I KNOW THAT IN GOD’S TIME WE WILL MEET

HOPING AND PRAYING THAT WOULD BE GREAT

YOU’LL ALWAYS IN MY HEART

EVERY TIME I BREATH.
