It has been three years since my father joined the creator yet all the memories we've created at home stayed the same. Tears kept falling down whenever I hear his favorite songs and there was a pain in my heart seeing the places we'd been to. I can say that nothing compares to the father-daughter relationship we've established at home that's why when I saw Maxene Magalona's #HerFirstLove video, I felt the need to pen a letter to my first love too.
Papalits as we fondly call him is my first love. I can still remember his struggles in raising a family. He's not a perfect father because my mother sacrificed a lot in order to keep our family complete. Being the eldest, I witnessed the trials that my parents went through and how they lived by the saying "through thick and thin." I know that Papalits is in heaven smiling down at me. There are many words left unspoken in the last few days that I was not able to tell him. Since I have a strong internet connection at home, I do hope that this letter will reach heaven.
