If only I Could, I Would

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in Tagugpo Lupon Davao Oriental, a healthy baby boy named Rodelio was born. He was the first born of Ramon and Constancia.

Rodelio is a bright child. He was always at the top of his class. He got his wits from both of his parents. He is kind and easy to be with. As much as possible, he doesn't want to argue with anyone.

In his teenage years, he met Matea and fell in love with her. He married her at the age of 18 and got busy😜. Matea gave birth to three little girls. Their first born is Melinda, followed by Katherine and the youngest is Kate. Rodelio and Matea raised their child with all the love that they could give.

They were living simply and contented but shit happens in life. Rodelio worked as a chief mechanic in a company which send him to a different places for work. He would only return home in a weekly basis or sometimes for months. That is when the problem started to occur.

Matea found out that Rodelio has a mistress. They always argue everytime Rodelio went home. Their happy home were shattered. Matea decided to leave Rodelio and her 3 little girls and worked abroad.

Rodelio had a new family and so the girls were taken cared of by their grandparents. But Rodelio and Matea did not forget their financial obligations with the 3 girls. And the 3 girls never hated their parents.


Aloha! Jeez, I hope you like my article for today. I just suddenly missed my Papa. I dreamed about him earlier when I was taking a nap and so I decided to make an article for him.

My father died last 2018. I think it was destined that I was there and having a vacation. So that I can be with him in his remaining days.

This was taken in my father's house, 8 days before he died. I was with my father, wearing sando, my youngest sister, his husband and my husband, wearing white shirt. We had fun, telling stories about the past and his plans when he get back to his work abroad. I never thought that he would die 2 days before his flight back to the Middle East.

I miss my Papa, during those days that I was so sick because of Covid19, I always had a dream of him. He was telling me to fight back and never lose hope. And then I would end up crying. There is one thing that I regret, and that is, I was never vocal of saying how much I love him. I think I never told him that I love him. And every time it crossed my mind, it hurts like hell....

I think parents just know. I mean, we don't always have to tell them. That we keep them in our lives and make them a part of our lives is confirmation enough. It is never easy to say goodbye to people we love and admire, and luckily I have not had to say this yet to my own parents.

My wife always reminds me of the importance of time and making the most of it. Her mom died when she was 12, and her dad died when she was 19.

Oh that's sad, she was orphaned at a young age. Your wife is right, make the most out of it while they're still alive. Life is unpredictable, you know.

I think most of us are not that vocal in expressing our love to our parents, but I know that your father knows that you love him so much.

Family photos are always a memory. When someone leaves us. Then these pictures remain as their memory. I enjoyed the whole story very much but yes I got a little hard for some things. Every child has a pull towards parents. It hurts a lot when they leave.

Pictures help us remember what we have lost and recall their images. Watching the faces of those we have lost and remembering the times we spent with them can satisfy your longing.
