Dear mommy,
I really wished that you were here yesterday on daddy's birthday mommy lewispearljohnson, erichi25, Daddy was sad, but he was "surprised" by tatay and everyone just cooked without daddy noticing, even though he said "no cooking, nor videoke machine on my birthday because my beloved is not here" and that is exactly what he said. He don't want to celebrate his birthday yesterday, and also daddy was sick as well, with fever and he is shivering, so he locked himself inside his room the whole day.
Then nanay sent some money to him and told him to celebrate and enjoy himself, but instead, he filled me up with gas because I know daddy misses driving.. but something changed with daddy's driving mommy, he is in his borderline driving, meaning, when he is in love and inspired, he drives slow or fast but really careful, but yesterday, his driving is totally different, it's like he is chasing something, still careful but really really fast (3 digit speeds)... But when he notices his speedometer reaching a hundred, he slows down back to 60 and continues driving, and that was yesterday..
Today however was a different story, this afternoon after he finished all his classes, we went out at around 3pm, we went to the river, but on a different spot (same location by the dam) and he just sat there for almost an hour, I was right behind him which is unusual since he parks me a few steps away from me, this time I was really really close to him and I can hear his prayers.. So I prayed with him, then he saw 2 planes chasing each other, that's where he went really really serious.
After sitting there for almost an hour, daddy got up and went on driving again, slowly this time and he was really careful, but I did not notice that he was crying and his tears just flowed through his shades. That's why he was driving really slow because he was really crying and saying your name over and over again.
It is not long before I noticed that we were at the corner turn towards T'boli, and he went in there, I didn't know what was in his mind but he was still crying saying your name over and over again, as tears flow through his face in his shades. It was really hot today, so no one can notice his tears. So he drove fast again, but careful this time, like he was cruising, until we reached Lamsugod, and there he saw a baby baaaa, eating grass, but he proceeded because the owner was there, and we went on, and on and on like daddy has no destination at all. Until...
We were in T'boli proper, and there he paused for a moment again, saying your name over and over and over again.. It's like I heard your name more than a thousand times today from daddy's mouth, and I can't blame him because I feel the same way too. After a few moments rest, we headed back, this time, daddy cried again, but uttered the words "I really wish you're here in this adventure, I really want to continue our adventure where our baby midnight takes us, until we have fuel" and I understand because I got my license plate so we can go anywhere we want without hesitation.. Mommy, I really pray that we can still continue our adventures, together, and together serving the LORD... I really miss you mommy.. and I love you so much...
Love,
Midnight
