Today, I lost my hero -- my father, my pillar of strength. I am grateful for the opportunity to have visited the Philippines last June -- that turned out to be the last time I would see, kiss and hug my Daddy alive. He died peacefully today, July 27, at 4:00 pm, after I said goodbye to him on the phone. He had been fighting for a month, after he had an acute stroke last June 29. But Daddy had been fighting for a long time -- for 43 years in fact -- as a paralyzed man who only wanted to give the best to his family and help those in need. If you have not met my Daddy -- Atty. Jose Ma. Lopez Santos -- let me introduce him to you by reposting this tribute I that I wrote for him, and had been updating every birthday and Fathers Day. Sadly, this time, it is goodbye. Tonight I will be flying back to Manila to say goodbye for now to my hero -- My Father, My Pillar of Strength. gelsantosrelos.typepad/my-blog/2010/06/my-father-my-pillar-of-strength.html
