Remembering my beloved Dad in his birth anniversary today, October 13th...♥

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

 love leaves a memory no one can steal."

(flowers for my beloved Dad) ♥

"Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; 

and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight."

~Rossiter Worthington Raymond

"If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane,
 I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again."

Pictures/memories of my beloved Daddy:
Atty.Rodolfo Benitez Garbanzos Jr.
who passed away Sept.'93 

~ loving husband, father, Lolo, brother, son...
brilliant trial lawyer

(product of U.P.College Of Law, Diliman,Q.C.)...
active in civic organizations (was Dep.Governor of Lions District 301-B) and religious organizations...
 (was active in Cursillo & Marriage Encounter)...
good provider for his family...helpful...generous to a fault) ♥

"I love you, Daddy. Miss you so so much. 
May God bless you always..."

Love forever,

"bebushka" ♥

"With what a deep devotedness of woe...
 I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again...
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
 And memory, like a drop that, night and day,

Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!"

~Thomas Moore

(This was Dad's last "passport picture" ~ kept a copy in my wallet so I can look at it whenever I miss him...esp.during those times when things are not so good.)

"Love you, DAD. I miss you so much, Daddy...! 
I'll never forget you!" ♥

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

Old, old, pic... Hmm, circa 1987...?
 Me with my Dad & Mom in Tacloban, Leyte during a Lions District Convention...
 (Daddy was Deputy Governor of Lions District 301-B & my Mommy was Lioness District President of District 301-B) ☺

"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,

May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow."

(If only...if only I can go back in time...and "freeze this moment",

 I would...God knows I would!!!) ♥

When someone you love becomes a memory,

I dedicate this song to my Dad...♥

Special Memory

You will always be a special part of me

You will always be a special memory

I`ll always cherish wonderful moments

You have given me

You are in my heart wherever I may be

All the times we shared will always be to me

Songs my heart will sing refreshing melodies

I`ll put together all of your laughter

Like a symphony

I`ll remember you wherever I may be

 (Instrumental)

I`ll put together all of your laughter

Like a symphony

I`ll remember you wherever I may be

I`ll remember you wherever I may be

I`ll remember you wherever I may be
