Today is father’s day! And special greetings to our parents, my dad, Hector Velez, who moved on last June 2001 and Chief’s dad, Edwin Gabutina, who continues to move around the Odyssey Record Bars in search of his favorite music.
Earlier, we brought Mom and Dad Gabutina to SM Bacoor for lunch and some shopping. We arrived around 11:30am and the more popular restaurants were already packed. SRO. Max’s Restaurant. Jollibee. Gerry’s Grill. Barrio Fiesta had a couple of free tables and we quickly settled down. Chief ordered grilled squid, lechon kawali (which was really nice and tender), plus boulla baise, a seafood based soup. That was good but the management refused to give us an extra soup bowl. Could have been good PR for Barrio Fiesta?
In a few minutes, the place was packed and we were enjoying our food. Service was a little slow and disorganized. Mom’s “sago and gulaman” never arrived.
Later in the afternoon, Chief and I visited dad at the cemetery. Prayed the rosary. We noticed there were a of people today. Guess, like us, families were visiting their own dads who had moved on.
Wherever you are dad, I miss you. And love you.
