For Jenelyn

Dear Lyn,

I know you are dealing with personal issues but thought I'd give you this very important note: I know you are not asking my advise but I'll give it anyway cause I hate to hear you say that ''no one informs me!'' It's terrible that I have to be the one telling you this instead of you telling me since you are closer to him geography wise. And I am not his daughter. You really need to put yourself aside this time.

I know you are very busy but I'm hoping you prioritize to find time and mend your fathers broken heart very soon before it's too late for you as his daughter. I saw how bad his situation and I want you to know that.

 I am thankful to your Ate Irene for giving me an opportunity (she paid my ticket) to be with your Lola Gloria and my siblings. Even though it's heartbreaking situation still am proud I got the chance to cry with your father and hugged him tightly. I must say his lectures are harsh but I was able to make him feel I love him. I was going to show him but he is 99% blind. I do not know if you know the facts, his health.

As I told you on the phone to try listening to him for once.  He just wanted to be heard. He is very agitated because he can't see and he doesn't know what is happening in his body. I hope you put yourself aside and just listen to whatever he says to you. He doesn't feel loved by his kids.

I know you have an instant update from your little brother Jun-Jun of how they are doing. But I am not sure if he has an idea what and how it feels to be blind. I believed non of us knows what it feels to be blind.

It is not your auntie Nenengs obligation to take care of your father but she understand his situation. Your auntie Neneng is there whenever someone is in need. She deserves nothing but RESPECT from all of us.

I practice my obligations to my mother and the whole entire family. I am not asking to pay me back but only respect and be a good citizen. Treat every one the way you want to be treated.

I am expecting you write me back about this message. Write me back wherever you want to write. it be on Facebook or reply to this page, I'm cool.

Don't be afraid to write however you feel towards your father and what i have here. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Free to call me. You got my cell phone number and there is no reason I won't get your call this time. You left me a message on it but it was on Off mode since I couldn't use it in Davao.

Take a train or bus to see your father. Spend a long weekend with him. That is my precious advise to you.

We do not look for something that is there. We look for something when it's not there or say it's gone for good. You won't hear your father's lectures when he is gone. I'm sure you won't missed it but thought I'd mention it.

Love lots,
auntie Fe.
