THE JOYS OF TIME TRAVEL


To start of, this is not one of those science fiction blogs
Nope, this one takes on a very simple plot.. No rocket science needed on this one.
As I was coming home from work, I always look forward to seeing my baby kin (son of my sister his name is Gabby)
He removes soooo much stress off me with just one smile...
I love him so much like he was my own kid.

As I was eating at the family table one morning, I saw my dad playing with him.
And in that moment, I saw my dad in his most happiest face (his always had this poker face when he talks to me most of the time as far as I can remember).
And I was looking at him; I can’t help but wonder if that same happy face was the one he was wearing when I was a baby.

I missed the way my dad looks at me like that....
Before all the heart aches, frustration and sorrow I caused him in the span of my growing up years.

Seeing that moment when he was with Gabby, felt like a time traveling experience for me.
It was ordinary yet it was a magical moment.
It brought me back to that place, where I just have this honest joy in my heart when nothing was there
But my innocence, and my dad’s tender love...

  1. Palagay ko bro your dad is just hiding his emotions alam mo naman ang mga tatay pa macho effect pero deep inside their more ma drama than womens kaya nga mas prone mag pakamatay ang lalake kesa babae base on statistics.Pero for sure the joy of your dad is far more greater when your mom gave birth to a wonderful, smart, chickboy and nice kid named mekmek :). Peace!

    Proverbs 23:25
    25 Let your father and your mother be glad,
    And let her who bore you rejoice.
