I Fondly Remember
35 years ago today, we lost our beloved Ama to heart failure. I was 11 years old then, it was a few days before our periodical exams in Grade 5, I can still vividly remember. If Ina and my siblings were grief-stricken by his passing, I was devastated. I was a certified Daddy's Girl.
As the youngest in the family, Ama gave me everything I asked for, most of the time, to the chagrin of my siblings. I was spared from the rod, nobody dared fight me, lest they will be condemned for it. When others didn't know what signature clothing was, I, at a very young age, was shopping in Ci
nderella. When my cousins Tess and Rosie took up piano lessons, Ama bought a Grotrian Steinweg piano so I can take my lessons too. I was given the best....always....by Ama.
I remember when I want to ask for something and I cannot say it directly to him, I would write a short note, tuck it on one of his slippers while he is asleep. As soon as he wakes up, that was the first thing he would see before he gets out of bed. And then, presto, I will get what I want. The trick never failed.
As I grew up without him, I was never deprived of the love, only of the luxury he used to shower me. Ina and my siblings, were always there to provide for me, the basics and a little more.
When I got married, the life of a princess I used to live, turned into a life filled with tough luck as I shouldered most of the responsibilities of the married life. As Ate Sylvia described my life, I was "prinsesang naging basahan". I managed to get out of that marriage and tried very hard to raise my children.
Things would have been fine until the job I held was came to an end at the onset of the global recession. I never got a well paying job since and my children had to work to augment the family income. As a parent, I know education is the only thing I could give my children. But at this point, no matter how painful it is for me as a mother, education and school has to wait.
Today, on Ama's 35th death anniversary, I fondly remember him. As before, I call on him whenever I am placed in a difficult situation in life. Last night, I talked to him again, asking him to ask our Heavenly Father for the one thing I had been praying for the last 20 months, that is the opportunity to move to another country to start anew.
I know Ama will never let down his bunso. I believe he will help me get what I want as he used to do. All these because Ama loves me until this time.
I love you Ama and I miss you po.
