Big hug to you, my boy Gabo.
I have always called you “my boy”. But you have grown so quickly. You are my Big Man now. This March you’ll be 8 years old. But you’re older than your age.
Thank you for your respect. Thank you for your obedience. Thank you for caring for me and Angel.
I am 40 years older than you but I still learn so many things from you.
I always say you’re my hero. You are not Superman or Spiderman, but you are a hero to me because you’re doing great things for me more than anyone did in my life. Superman and Spiderman help people. And you do that too. Everyday you’re helping me and making me happy just because you are there.
Thank you for the “huggie, kissie” every time I leave the house and when you feel I need a hug and kiss. Thank you for reminding me to take my vitamins. But my most important vitamin is you and your sister.
Thank you for your prayers for Angel to be back with us soon. Just like you, Angel is a heroine too (heroine is the female hero ha, but you may know that already).
Be good always. With you and Angel together, you will do good things, big things, helpful things not only to your papa and our family but to other people too.
I’m so proud of you, my big man Gabo.
(There, I even made the text blue because it’s your favorite color)

Thanks again rheeza. I let Gabo read your message and he has smile on his face the whole time. Your words are very inspiring not only to him but to me also. Yes I believe God is carrying Gabo and Angel in both arms and with His infinite power I know he is also carrying me.
I used to think that the story about the Footprints in the Sand was a bit to mushy for me. But each passing day, I feel that this is already happening to me. For how else do I manage to stand with all this weight on my shoulder.
Please continue to pray that despite all these burdens, I still will be an instrument of God’s care to Gabo and Angel.
God bless you and your family, rheeza. You are an inspiration to me and my family too. Maraming salamat. Please keep in touch.

Hi rheeza
Your messages never fail to move me… I’m sorry I got to answer only now. Not been feeling well too lately. I’m glad you’re ok now.
Thank you for the valentine message. I’ll let Gabo read it. I’m even more challenged now to be a better father to Gabo and to Angel. Thank you for the encouragement. I’m glad to hear about your children day and nite. I’m sure they are blessed to have a mother like you who is not only loving to both of them but to other people as well.. Sige, I’m sure someday you’ll get a chance to Gabo and Angel. The moment Angel returns, I plan to have a Thanksgiving gathering and I will surely invite you and all who have shown support to me and my family.
God bless you and your family, rhezza. Take care also and please stay in touch.

Hi Bong/Sam
Thanks for the greetings. Relaying it to Gabo.
Yeah, our lives– even our celebrations are incomplete these days.
Hope, prayers, goodwill from true friends like you does make them closer to a complete moment.
Thank you for your prayers. Doing the same for you two also. Have fun too. God bless you always.

hi sir henry and gabo… happy easter kahit late na… Nitey is now okey… though we spent almost days sa st lukes… she was diagnosed here sa Malolos with dengue but thank God… st lukes cleared her of all possible ailments and she is okey na…. we were busy last holy weekkasi day is one of the performers sa aming “sinakulo” here in Bulacan…. he played “Judas”. Anyway I hope Gabo is okey… Sana he will be able to enjoy this summer even without angel… I hope both of you are always in the best of health and even if its not complete without her… still maka-enjoy pa din… esp. gabo… We will continue praying for you… we will always hope with you that as soon as possible you will be complete again… keep smiling!!!

Hi rheeza,
Sorry to have replied only now… Didn’t notice new posts kaagad.
Very happy that Nitey is ok. Especially that it could have been dengue. I suggest you always use OFF lotion on their skin especially when they’re going out.
Congratulations to day on his stage debut.
I plan to do a new post soon just for updates and to assure all our friends here that our resolve is undiminished. Thank you for unceasing prayers because I know our strength comes from them.
Thank you rheeza. Bless you and your precious kids always.

hi sir henry… hi gabo… how are you… been very busy…
i just lost my aunt… she is very precious to me… but i am happy for her because i know that she is in a much much better place with her creator. anyway i was hoping that sana after so long… i would read that angel is back where she belongs… but it seems that the perfect time has not come yet… but its good to see that more and more people are praying for her, for you and for gabo…
how are you gabo… school is here na… i hope you study even harder… one day the Lord will give you your prize for being a good boy… always make your dad very happy and proud… though you may never fill up what angel has left behind… you are th source and reason why your dad is still very hopeful… you are his strength and joy… be happy always though you are apart, not one can separate you…
the LORD will always take car of you… though sometimes it is so hard to comprehend… His plans are perfect and in His time everything will be beautiful…
always praying for your reunion, rheeza
