FATHER'S DAY JUNE 21, 2015

Father's Day is tomorrow, June 21, 2015, the third Sunday in June. Isn't June 21st the first day of summer? Yes, it is! Nice day, then...right? Right!

Father's Day is a very fitting day to honor all fathers that have sacrificed a lot and gave life to their children. How and what do I remember about my father?  He is the most loving, unselfish and caring person on earth! He is also an avid dancer...boy! can he dance!  I remember him and my mother dancing in our living room while we get the records playing. I do not know why I ended up with two left feet! My father also liked the theater, he would gather us children and off we go to watch a play or a concert in the park. Sigh! memories....good, nice memories.....

He provided well for us, and there were a lot of us, really a lot! I really do not know how he and my mother were able to do it. My mother did not work at all. They wanted us to have the best so we were sent to a private school, and we have a nice, comfortable life. God is really good, that is all I can say. Thank you Mang and Pang for all you have done for us!!!

There were sooooo many, many  happy memories that if I write it all, this page will not be sufficient and I will be here forever. To make a long story short, my father was the best and I really miss him a lot. Oh, oh, here's a tissue.....Stop it! I am sure that others too will be teary eyed when they reminisce their fathers. Are you?

Well, folks, enjoy your father while you can...they will not be here forever... Cherish them, hug them, pamper them, not only during Father's Day but everyday!

Have fun, and have a nice, happy and blessed day!

Happy Father's Day to all fathers!!!!

MOTHER'S DAY MAY 10, 2015

Does Mother's Day seems to be getting bigger and more commercialized lately? Seems like people are buying more presents and spending more, which is really good, not only for our mothers but also for the economy. So, what are you griping about?  Did you not get a present today?  Were you not entertained today? Sure!  I really appreciate it all, but the true meaning of mothers day seems to be getting lost in the presents and entertainment. What do you want? Don't you not want to be pampered today? That's it! What's it? Don't mothers want to be pampered not only today but every day? What? Now, now, you are asking a lot, missy. People are busy and have lives too! You cannot expect your children to check on you and pamper you everyday...that is too much!  You expect too much! Maybe, maybe not. What do you guys think? Any comments?

It is not me. I sometimes see and read about parents living alone and not even one relative comes by and checks on them. May be the relatives live far away and cannot afford to see them. That can be true. Or maybe, the parents have become mean to the children or vice versa and have parted ways. What do you suggest? I am not sure. If the relatives live far from each other and cannot afford a plane ride or to drive, that is really a dilemma. What do you think they should do?

But if the problem is they have not talked to one another for quite sometime, perhaps, the children should take the initiative to be the first to contact the parents. Parents gave you life! Besides, life is too short to hold a grudge and not to talk to love ones. Forgive and forget!

I really miss my mother soooo much. I owe everything to her and my father, without them I would not be what I am today. Happy Mother's Day, Mang!

Anyway, children.....call your mother.....pamper them today especially, but pamper them whenever you can. After all, they gave you life. Honor them, love them, cherish them today, tomorrow and forever.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!!!
