It all started when I first became a part of the family. You welcomed me as your own daughter instead of just a daughter in law and in return, I have learned to accept you as my own father. You are called my second family, but to me, you are my first family. You have loved me, cared for me as your own which I never expected it to be. 

Inspite of the hardships in our life we still manage to live simple. As the years go by, even if their were someone who keeps on destroying our relationship, we still acted as if nothing is happening at all. 

When you were in hard times, I prayed for you to live much longer for your grandchildren. But, God has bigger plans for us so He took you from us. Which is even okay, because everyday I feel your sufferings. I cannot see you suffering from your illness. 

Dad, now that you're gone, I am still missing you a lot. No one can ever see the kindness in you. I'm still wishing that you have not been gone. You should have stayed with us to see you grandchildren growing. This year was our most awaited part for you first born grand child. You even told him that you will be the one to march him in his first graduation. 

Anyhow, like I have just said, God has bigger plans for you and for all of us. Just guide them to be strong everyday. 

Thank you for everything.
