FATHER

Lawrence calls me PAPANG
I call him DADDY
And he calls my lolo, PAPA
and all 4 of us call HIM, OUR FATHER

Here's a photo taken during the era of the point-and-shoot film-based camera of circa early 2000. I need to scan it and enhance its faded color.

But however it looks, the photo is so powerful and so striking to me. 1) while inspecting our kids' school materials early this morning to make a to do list for the kids (after church), this photo just popped up; 2) it has me happily carrying our firstborn Lawrence with Daddy, his lolo, who looked so amazed by "his creations" and finally, 3) the image of the Lord above us.

Nakakapangilabot moments on Father's Day!
