Lola Rose believed in hula before. Fifty seven years ago, after three girls and being pregnant for the fourth time, she consulted a manghuhula. Sabi sa kanya ang anak nya na yun ang syang magiging pinakamayaman na tao sa buong mundo.

Of course that didn’t happen. He became a doctor but was never able to heal people in hospitals. Instead, he chose to be a missionary and heal people spiritually. He never became rich, far from that. But he never ran out of anything material that he needs. He has seen many countries, experienced different cultures, met so many people and yet he still wants to stay in the Philippines. His mission is far from over, he says.

For us though, he still became what the manghuhula told he will become. He is rich in wisdom, full of love, full of joy. He is the not the perfect man nor the perfect husband. But for me, he is the perfect Dad.

Happy birthday Daddy!
