To a Dad Like no Other...

I walked hand in hand with the best dad in whole wide world!

Stroll down with me through memory lane...

July 14, 1980 a baby girl was born...

A wide eyed mom at the age of 24 held her baby for the first time...

There at the door was her happy husband at the age of 27...

There were sleepless nights...

Long sighs...

and sweet butterfly kisses...

and lovely songs at night...

3 years after the tiny baby girl became a talkative toddler...

she talks...and after a few years she learned to walk...

but she cries more...and whenever she does her big strong dad was always there to stop her from crying...

in her eyes he became her hero...he became her shield...he became her protector...

33 years later...she smiles...for on that magnificent day she walked down the aisle with the best dad ever!

She's a lucky girl to have a dad who loves her, her mom and sister unconditionally...

Pa thank you so much for loving us...thank you for all the sacrifices...thank you for always being our role model...and best of all pa, thank you for always...always...always being there for all of us....

I love you Pa...Happy Father's Day!!!

It's a thing called US

 She smiles.... 

 He smiles... 

 She glances... 

 He glances...

 She grins...

 He grins back... 

 They held each other's arms... 

 And everything starts all over again..

The Closure

After so many years of thinking about the what ifs, what should'ves and could'ves they meet again... He called her from his cellphone...She picked up on the other line...He asked, " Are you here? Where are you?" She grinned back..." I'm over here....we're here at the salon." she replied. He opened the door and their eyes met for the very fist time in so many years...They hugged and gave each other their short versions of "Hi there! And how are you's"... Time has changed but nothing really changed much about them...except for the fact that they're both 7 years older...and 7 years more mature... The day went on and they spent it with their wonderful friends... They didn't talk that much but they sat close together...Everything between them seemed to be so distant and so cold...The only thing that they could talk about was their jobs and the lives they both made for the past few years...then they smiled and simply sighed...The day had to end pretty soon...She looked at her finger and she remembered that somehow this maybe the final goodbye....
Once again they hugged...exchanged their lovely goodbyes...and this time they didn't have the guts to say their see you soons... Maybe it was indeed the final goodbye... :-)

Peace at Last

After her wedding day...She looked at him...
She smiled...and she thanked the Lord above for another new morning...
3 weeks of preparation...
3 weeks of not spending quality time with this wonderful man...
1 month of not being able to simply spend a whole day alone with him was something else
She thought...

But somehow that special day made her smile...
It made her realize that they were able to reunite a big family who were not able to see each other for years...they were able to rebuild bridges on that special day...they were able to breakdown walls
She smiled because she was able to feel that her world is at peace again...


In the midst of everything she was happy to find herself again...
She was able to simply say to her self that yes...she found her missing piece...

She almost forgot who she was...
She almost forgot how it felt to be home again...


Now she knows that somehow she is at peace again...
Now she can wake up every morning...
Knowing that somehow her world is at peace again...
