My Dad's LAST DAY In The Philippines (British Family's Thoughts)

  • MY DAD IS LEAVING THE PHILIPPINES.
    It was an emotional last day as we remembered the trip and even the years before. But it was a worthwhile one all the same.
    From Filipino classics for lunch (what does my dad think of bagoong?) to pasalubong to searching for fruit out of season, and of course my dad's honest thoughts on the Philippines!
    It's an emotional goodbye - and until next time!
    From Davao, a few days later, I moved onwards south with my Australian friends (‪@travellingsticks‬) and David aka Bell Boy (‪@TravelingTutor‬)
    We're headed to T'Boli for a few days where we met David No.2 - the man, the myth, the legend!

    I'm very happy when your dad says to you; that the last time you were in, YOU ARE IN THE DARK SIDE.
    NOW, YOU ARE BACK AND NORMAL AGAIN, very precious to me !
    I'm SURE while on the plane GOING BACK TO UK, HIS HEART is jumping for joy..
    You might have added 40 years of extended life to your parents.

    I feel so sad for Kumander’s father who was probably trying to conceal his tears while leaving him and his family behind.
    The Kumander himself although was laughing and smiling appeared sad for his father’s departure.
    Boun Voyage Sir.

I'm so happy he had the time with Lily and to begin to develop that relationship with her, too. Lily really warmed up to him in a short time. I can't say it enough how cute she is, and so smart, too.
