Hi papa how are you and mama in heaven with kuya jo and bot?

It isn’t a year pa since you passed away and everyday i think of you and mama in such a special way. Today it is your birthday we always shared with the family. A special day for you alone to show how much i cared. But this year there’ll be no flying back home to see you and mom, no cake, no family gathering, no birthday hand shake, no birthday kisses, no warm embrace that last forever. But what you’ll always have PAPA is a son that have you in his heart and that love that just for you and which death can never part.

Happy birthday in heaven papa. I miss you and mama, till we meet again. ❤

Your loving son jerome murao

Happy Birthday Papa!!! It hurts to even think you’re not with us to celebrate your birthday but it also gives us comfort knowing mama cristy, kuya bobot and kuya jojo are there with you. Though nothing can take the pain away of losing you, we know that you’re still guiding us your children. We miss you papa!!! Even if I said this a million times I’d still say it. Thank you for everything you’ve done for your family. You and mama did everything possible to make sure that your children grew up to be ok. We will never forget that and we will never stop loving you. God bless you papa. Take care up in heaven and please continue to guide us here on earth. Until I see you again. YOUR SON, JEFF

Dad,
Our first time not being with you this fathers day will certainly make us feel the emptiness and loneliness. It hurts to even think I cant even talk to you to greet you happy fathers day. I miss you dad. Just a year ago I took you and mom to applebees for lunch a few days before the actual fathers day because my family and I went to the philippines for two weeks after that day we were together. No one could have imagined that a year later you and mom will be in heaven celebrating those special occasions. I know time heals all wounds. That God has plans for all of us. I hope you and mom will look after us. You and mom enjoy your eternal life. I can just picture you, kuya bobot and jojo playing basketball. Maybe you guys can ask kobe and play 2 on 2. You can show me in my dreams papa. We love you so very much papa. Again, thank you for EVERYTHING that you and mama did for me and my family. God bless you and take care. From your son, JEFF

Dad, though it hurts so very much to see you go, I know that you and mom are together again in a much better place. It gives me comfort to know that youre not dealing with pain anymore. I will miss you dearly. Particularly the advices, praises and the man to man talk. You know youre the only person I look up to. You and mom are the reason why Im blessed with the family I have. I hope I made you proud on how I turned out to be. I also hope that you continue to look after me and my family. Thank you for everything youve done for me and my family. Thank you for being my dad. I love you with all my heart. I will miss you so much. From your son, JEFF
