Dear mommy,
Today marks daddy's 4th Sunday as a pastor, and his 3rd Sunday to preach, but today is different.. Because today, his mission partner George has quit and the replacement came in late thus daddy was all alone driving to Taciman, and I can hear him cry all the way from Surallah to Taciman. Mommy, daddy's sadness can't be measured anymore... how long does he need to be like this? how long do we need to suffer mommy? how long do we need to cry? how long do we need to long? it's only you who we need and no one else..
Anyway mommy, today was one of the young people's birthday and debut, daddy prayed for her after the worship and the family invited him for lunch, but while they were cooking, daddy went down to the stream and prayed again, and I heard him cry loudly since there wasn't anyone there today because it's very cold and the water current is too strong, no one dares to take a bath there because they can be washed away by the strong water current.
After praying, daddy went up and the people there prepared food, but they said that it's only for him, but daddy as you know a kind hearted person as he is helping those who are in need, invited Pastor Lito and his wife to join him in lunch, I can hear him whisper "I wish she's here with me now enjoying this sinugbang tilapia", as daddy munched his first bite (he was eating with bare hands by the way) his tears started rolling down his cheeks, the tears of missing you, and I can't help but cry as well because I can't even comfort daddy like you do, by hugging him if he is down, kissing him and telling him that everything's okay, and assuring him that you'll be there no matter what... That's what he is holding on all this time mommy, and that is what I am holding on to all this time too mommy.
By the way mommy lewispearjohnson, erichi25, as we headed home after lunch, something strange happened, daddy and I never expected to see these along the road, when we thought that these can't be found here in Lake Sebu by the way... this is the first time that we both saw something like these.
Not just one mommy, there's 2 of them! and daddy took a lot of pictures of them trying to get close to them though is tricky because they keep running away, and I think these sheep doesn't have any owner.. I know mommy, if you were here, you will try to get close to them and try to touch them... Fluffy would be like "MAMIIII!! MAY BAAA!!! PARANG KAMI NI KIKO!!" I mean look at their horns, same as Fluffy's and Kiko's horns.
After daddy's picture fiasco with these two sheep, he drove away, but this time, his cries are even louder saying your name over and over again.. Mommy, please... I love you and I really miss you so much.. and I really hope that you'll get to read this letter to you mommy..
Love,
Midnight
