TATAY (father)

This is for the scrapperie.com's 8 weeks challenge..First week's challenge is to make a layout about your superhero...No second thoughts,my tatay (father) is my hero...i've been saving these photos of him, waiting for the right layout...it was hard not to get emotional while i was making this, the worst part was the journaling...thanks donna and monet for giving me the right path...it was hard not to focus on the pain...

journaling:

TATAY,

whenever i was burdened with troubles in the past,you were always there to lift me up...a phone call with you,then i was strong again..you were always our happy tatay, enjoying life however big problems were...i would like to believe that you led a happy life even how short it was...i still call out for you tatay,silently...even with you gone,you are still able to give me strength during the lowest point in my life...there are still many battles that lie ahead,but i know that i could survive it and still be happy with my life,co'z i learned from the best...i would like to pass this on to my children like you passed it on to us...and maybe someday,my children will appreciate how i tried to stay strong for them because i would like to think i grew up like you, tatay..
