Why I wasn't and won't be live until next week

I'm sending this email kasi baka nagtataka ka why di ako nakapag live sa Facebook Page last Friday kagaya ng commitment ko.


So here's what happened .


Two weeks ago, our father was rushed to the hospital again.


It has been 4 years since the severe symptom of his Kidney failure appeared.


Di pa namin alam yun na affected na pala kidney nya.


Then last 2019, nag swell na ang legs nya.


Last 2020, nag swell ulit.


And last quarter last year, after ng beach getaway namin, don na nag start ang sobrang pag baba ng health condition nya.


Unfortunately...


...just last Saturday (Aug.27th), he's gone


Gone for good.


Now saying goodbye is normally painful.


But not so deep in our case.


Kasi may acceptance na kami.


And I'm sharing this kasi a father-daughter relationship would always reach a physical end.


Kasi all of us will die.


Parang marital relationship na may mga physical hangganan minsan although in God's eyes married pa rin kayo.


But it doesn't mean na forever kang magiging bitter, depressed, walang acceptance at di na makaka move on or magiging mas maganda at meaningful ang buhay.


Like what I always tell my students, any dark season of your life will just pass away.


Coz change is constant.


Thus, your feelings change.


Syempre, after this challenging season sa family namin after our father's death, change will happen again.


And I declare positive change.


I declare beautiful change too sa buhay mo.


And as always, I'm just here cheering you on.




To your peace and joy,

FJ Lapera


P.S. I'll be back live after our father's burial. See you.
