For my Father's birthday, Ramir and I decided to give him 2 tickets for Apo Hiking Society's Concert "APO of the Philippines". But being a mushy letter writer that I am, I wouldn't let his birthday pass without giving him a card. Below is what I've written verbatim in his commercialized Hallmark greeting card.
Dearest Tatay,
Thank you for your wisdom. I wouldn’t have known a lot of things if not for the stories and lessons you’ve shared.
I’m proud of what you have become and I’m grateful for the fact that I can share a lot of things with you and I can consult anything under the sun with you.
I hope that like you, I’ll be able to advance my career without stepping on anyone. May I also be wise and logical in a lot of ways. And lastly, may I affect the lives of my children the way you affected yours. I love you Tatay. I guess, loving you would be my greatest gift. May Rainie be inspired with my life the way I am inspired by yours. Happy Birthday.
Love always,
Rok
