Pa,
This will be my 17th years without you but then I can still feel your presence and now I begin to scratch the surface of the impact you've had on my life. Pa, even in the midst of my successes, my problems (and there have been so many) and my shortcomings, you have always ACCEPTED me as I am. I am in awe of your strength, your integrity, and your painful endurance you deal. I know that you are REALLY PROUD of me for WHAT and WHO I am now. I am extremely blessed to have a father like you. Remember, I am your duplicate copy in so many ways from your aura to attitude (lol).Though I was not Noel Jr., but im proud to be same like you. The difference between us is I have a tearful eye. Anyway, our names were almost sounds the same- Noel and Jonnell hehehee.
Pa, you know, I missed your louder voice when you were angry. I missed your simple smile to cover-up your tiredness after work. Before, I don’t really understand you in being strict and being diplomatic in imposing discipline. I admit, at my younger age I am not aware of anything that might cause problem to our family. My minds that time are set to play and to enjoy. Now I realized the reason why sometimes you scolded us and reprimanded about the things we do. We, (your siblings) may not be a good person right now without your guiding hands- for tapping us on our shoulder if we made things great and scolding us to remind our mistakes. I may not achieve my dreams without the BIG challenge you gave. And we were not being a good Christian without your thorough advice about God along with our mama. I am not vocal to you and it never been be trying to say how much I care and love you but you are really mean to us. Pa, you are more than BATMAN, SPIDERMAN and SUPERMAN to me. You are someone to look-up to no matter how tall I’ve grown. HAPPY FATHER’s DAY Papa..
Proud son,
Jonnell
