Simple Thoughts of Mine

My Tatay (father) just celebrated his 78th birthday last Sunday (March 21, 2010).  We had a small party for immediate family member.  I brought cake and softdrinks, my eldest brother a rice cake, my other brother a beefsteak and my mom with PenPen cooked pancit palabok and shrimp in tamarind base soup which is Tatay’s favorite.  I saw a big smile from Tatay as he sang his birthday song repeatedly with his grandchildren.:D  I felt blissful somehow that he enjoyed his day, despite of his early second childhood due to his diabetes.  He even asked me some questions like what are the reasons for hair loss because he noticed that he is balding. Hahahahaha….

But I am glad that my father is getting better now when before he almost lost his memory.  Can you just imagine that he cannot recollect our names except from my mother.  But with his illness he proved that he really love this woman in his life.  That inspite of his short memory loss, he never forgot her name.  Is that what you call true love? Mmmmmm…. So sweet.
