| My father surrounded by his grandchildren.... |
When I was in my really young years, I had never thought how lonely it would be when we grow up in years. Now as I look at my fast aging Tatay, I could not imagine myself battling my own feeling of uncertainty. I believe our life is full of uncertainties that oftentimes erode our inner strength. The only thing that keeps us going is the faith in our heart that always shines through all those moments. But what if in your ripen years nobody cares to pump up your depleted spirit?
I guess my parents made the right decision when they decided to nurture a "big" family at the beginning. To me, no amount of money can ever substitute the love we give to our parents. To love does not mean to give material things because what lifts our spirit is something that our eyes can never see. It's the intangible that touches the very soul of the person. Quality time spent with each other with no conditions, is the best family time that boosts everyone to become a nurturing being.
The picture of Tatay shows that he is happy, despite of Nanay's passing away few months ago. Needless to say what paints the happiness on his deep-furrowed face. The joy of his ripen years is coming from the angels who surround him and for whom my brothers and sisters have ushered in to this world.
