Parent's Birthday Celebration



It is the end of the year again. Every year we never fail to celebrate my fathers special day. We are blessed to have the best father in the whole world. We may be poor, but it  did not stop him from sending us all to college for a better life.

My father is the oldest of 9 children who hails from Bicol.  At a young age, he went to Manila to work  and follow his dream. He did not finish high school so he ended up working in a small grocery store owned by the young Chinese couple as their boy/ helper. The store did make it good until  the owner switched to a small  canned factory with my father as their st employee and mechanic.  My father did master the mechanic job through experience that saves the company s a lot of money.

His company number is "1", the companies 'LUCKY CHARM". He is well love by the owner and is considered as one of their relatives  who got all the privileges that an ordinary worker cannot get, like free housing, tuition fees for all of  his 7 children, free products like corned beef, meat loaf, etc. All these were given free, not a loan.

He retired at age the age of 65, after 47 years of hard work and dedication to the company and now enjoying his life with children, grand children.

Happy Birthday Papa. You are a Blessing to everybody.  The best son, sibling, friend, father and provider.

I  made a contest about his age and it seems that somebody got the right answer. Congratulation to the winner.
My father at 71.Still strong and healthy.
