Its been 5 years since he left me, I didn’t cry at his funeral but for these past 5 years I couldn’t help but cry everytime I miss him..
I still can’t stop the tears. No matter how hard I try not to cry.
I still silently weep in the middle of the night, so none of my family member see me.
Been 5 years and yet every funeral still reminds me of him.
Do you know if you miss someone who already passed away that means that someone miss you?
I’m flattered Pa. I miss you too. Always.

My cousin wrote a note about how you had affected his life.
You affected almost every people you met during your lifetime.
Because of your pure heart, your honesty, your tender-hearted attitude, your endless loyalti.
You are my biggest inspiration. My favorite role model. I still want to be you when I grow up.
