Rest In Peace

Rest in Peace Papa...

Some people create a huge impact in our lives that makes it as if they are meant to live forever. Some of these people are as iconic as movie legends like FPJ and Dolphy. Some of them are ordinary people you just met and became close with. But most of the time you will find these people within your family circle.

Papa Peping Castro was the Pambansang Papa of our family. He was my mom's eldest sister's husband. So much so that the cousins and their own families call him that - PAPA. He was one of the most generous men I know. It was always a joy when I travel to Las Vegas and I would just listen to him talk about his life, his experiences and he would offer useful advice that I bring back with me when I go home to Manila.

Still can't believe you're gone, Papa. You will surely be missed but fondly remembered. Thank you for everything you have taught me. Rest now in God's loving arms.

Some people make you feel like they will surpass time. All I know is that people like Papa Peping will always be alive in my heart.
