Happy Father's Day to all fathers!!!
Exodus 20:12 (KJV) "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
2 ️ ⃣ If you had a beloved "father figure" in your life (father, grandfather, uncle, family friend, employer, etc.) and would like to recognize them with a story, we'd love to hear it!
MY GRANDFATHER
My mama said to me too that I am very loud when I'm crying and that time I'm in my uncle's room and my aunt took that picture. They say to me that they are very alert🤣because when I'm finished using the pacifier I'm throwing it anywhere and they look where it lands 😁 and they name my pacifier "pipa" lolz hehe.
I want to show you the exact look of my "Pipa", the blue one. Cute Pipa. 🤣My best buddy!!!
Because they said My Pipa makes me calm and quiet and silent 🤣😂, they become very peaceful too from my noise!😁
And I only want to use a particular "pipa", my blue pipa because the other side is flat and comfortable to use. She said they always put the pipa in my mouth in the wrong direction because they are happy to see how I set it in my mouth properly with my face looking annoyed. Mama said the Pipa looked like a cigar pipe in my mouth
In this photo, my grandfather carried me, only his nose is visible here while I was laughing, Mama said.
He took care of me very much. He help my Mama provide for my needs and carry me because I was heavy😂🤣. He always carries my Pipa in his pocket😁.
Here is what my Pipa or pacifier looks like
So he can easily put it in my mouth every time he sees me ready to cry or when I eat anything. They say I always wipe the mess from my mouth using the shirt he was wearing. He called me a nickname "Bugoy" because he said I look tough and my eyes look naughty too.😂 My uncles and Aunties called me "Ugoy".
My mama said that I always wanted to lay beside him. Disturbing him when he was sleeping. As early as 4:30 AM my grandpa and I were already waiting for the "pandesal vendor".Pandesal is a very delicious yet simple bread, and they said I can finish many pieces of that bread. Every time my Mom tells me those things I can still recall some of those things. Grandpa also uses many tricks so I can stay in one place like he put a string on my chick's toy 🐤. He was pulling it secretly so it will and Mom said I will start to crawl back to my bed very slowly while my eyes are still on those moving toy chicks.
My Grandma said, my Grandpa always looked for natural food for me to eat like sweet potatoes and potatoes, and bananas after boiling them. He also helped by feeding me those foods while laughing out loud because of my messy face and funny behaviors.
Then when they were taking an afternoon nap, I am very much awake, Grandpa was happily staring at me and enjoying how I sing the "Pipit" a Filipino song about a bird, and also the "Ako ay may Lobo" also a Filipino song for children and I sang them out of tune so loud while looking outside😂. And my Grandpa was laughing nonstop.
More about my Grandpa and me here on my Mom's Post.
Mom also mention it here on her FACEBOOK POST
I miss my Grandpa. I can still feel how he loved me. He is a father figure to me. I love him so much.
But when he got sick and became weak, it was so sad, I couldn't go easy on him because he felt pain in his body. Even if he wanted to hug me, he was avoiding me. But I still went to him, my mom said.
Then on his last day in our home, Mom said while my Grandpa was preparing to go to the hospital for his confinement he was staring at me and said that "Bugoy, I am leaving you now" he was teary Mom said and I was playing on my bed that time, I was 2 and a half years old that time. And that was the last day in our house. Seems like he felt that he will leave us or that I don't know. I feel sad hearing about those stories.
When Mom carried him to the hospital he never went out there alive. Mom said on his wake there was a time that he didn't sleep or take rest. What I did was wipe the coffin of my Grandpa the whole night, Mom said everyone was looking at me and most of them knew how my Grandpa took care of me and was very close to me.
Until now I still remember his face though I can't remember other things but his love is still in my heart and memories.
Many happy and funny memories of my grandfather and me.
UNCLE CHUD
Mom's siblings are also good to me. All my Uncles are great. They all show their love for me in different ways. They are helping me in different ways. One I will feature here is my Uncle that was always with me before because he is the one who is always here when they are still living here. Mom and Grandma said he is always with us, helping my grandpa carry me. Gave me things, and cut my hair because he has skills in styling hair. He was also with us every time I got hospitalized before. He is always kind to me. When we go outdoors before he is the one going with us.
UNCLE HENRY
He is also my Mom's brother, he is not the same as my Uncle Chud but he is also good to me in different ways. He also gives things and gifts to me. Giving me advice too. I am always with his sons and to was always with them going to the mall before. He also knows how to cut hair so he also style my hair before. Giving me clothes too. Treating me like his son too.
AUNTY CHONA
She is mom's sister but a fatherly figure is not only for male people. She helps my Mom with our expenses. Though she is living abroad she never failed to help us. Even when my Grandpa is gone she never forgets to help us. She is very kind too. Every Christmas I also receive gifts from her through my Mom. She is also God-fearing and a good example to us for having a good heart.
UNCLE CHITO
Mom's elder brother too. Though he is not always here because he is living far from here. He is also checking on us here and his wife too. Sometimes he came here and carried clothes for me. Uniforms and other things. He also gives good advice. He is a God-fearing person too. I also feel his care for me.
UNCLE CHING
I have another uncle Mom's brother too. But he is not here anymore. But I still remember he also took care of me when he was here with us.
All my Mom's siblings are fatherly figures to me. They have good behaviors in different ways. They are all followers of Jesus even if they are not perfect. And I love all of them and always pray for them.
And most of all my Grandma, mom's mother. She is a very kind woman, she is taking good care of all of us and especially me. She is like both a mother and father figure to me. Mom can't do some house chores because she easily gets tired and Grandma helps us despite her age. She loves me like her own son. Taking care of my clothes, food, and mom too.
Top of all is our God almighty in Jesus' name! He is the one who never leaves me and my family. When we have a problem he is just a prayer away. He is a father figure to me and all of us.
I feel blessed that I have many fatherly figures in my life. And I all praying that God will bless them all and their families.
I don't have pictures of them but if you check on my mom's post they are all there. Photos are not important what important is their value in my life? Their love and care for me.
