 | its always nice to remember a good friend, a younger brother, a father.
pastor bob has it all, i will never forget all the good things he thought to me. |
 | Ano ba, lagi na lang ako naluluha everytime you have a Tito Bob entry or album. Sniff. I miss him too. I just can't imagine how much you miss him. :( |

& the imaginary sky
to fill your wedding church will be him.
not the familiar faces cheered
by candles, splashed with hymns.
not the promise you’ll sacredly utter
in front of god & a thousand petals. not the knot.
not even the groom who on that day
shall see beyond the whiteness you wear.
there will be a yearning prayer
which you’ll keep hushed in your heart.
& with that prayer you’ll know beyond your heart,
beyond the prayer itself, beyond the vignettes
left of you of him—a cup of espresso,
a toothful and thoughtful smile,
kids commemorating him through personalized shirts,
birthdays, christmas, your mother—that
daddy is & will always be your sky.
& you, a little kite now flying away from the earth.
fly, little kite. say I do. & he has loved & loves you too.
(For Riz)

 | aww..uyy i dreamt of tito Bob pala day before the camp:) |
 | hello, just a passerby. im so sorry for what happened. nararamdaman kita. i pray that you God be with you always as you go through hard times. I pray for your father too, and your family. |
 | I'm pretty sure he is, Riz. *hugs* |
 | vibay wrote on Mar 29, '08 missed you din kuya bob, rhiz |
 | and it happened again. na-teary eyed na naman ako sa entry mo. missing Tito Bob. |
 | hay nako, umiyak na naman ako. i was talking to te vilma the other night and we remembered Tito Bob. She said, "Alamo Joy, mahal na mahal ka 'non." Then tears welled up on her eyes. Waah, I miss him so much. |
| lahat ata kami naiyak ulit. *tighthug* sigh. miss him. |
 | haaaaaaaaaay! toBob. (i think i have moe pictures in my hard disk that are still unpublished anywhere.) |
 | haha grabe pinagtulungan si ate bubut. :) |
 | si dad nakangiti lang sa langit, almost always i just hear what he has to say to me in situations i'm in, brings me smiles. |
| actual photo, hindi sila umaacting |
| i am currently in an internet shop in Eastwood viewing this. Nakakahiya man lumuha dito, di ko na napigilang di umiyak.
He gave his life to this ministry and it's overwhelming to see the outpour of passion he put in the cause of Christ. I admire your courage Riz. It takes a lot of strength to put this up, yet you did. And because of this, your dad's memory will be witnessed by thousands of people who may be touched one way or another. *hugs*
I can't help but think how he's like Elisha.. Remember when a dead body was thrown into the tomb and touched Elisha's bones (Character BS natin)? The dead body came back to life! Just like Tito Bob, even beyond the grave, the power of the Holy Spirit in him still strikes many of us and gives us life to move on and finish what he started in SBC. :)
Happy one year up there Tito Bob! I can only imagine the party they threw for you when you first stepped into the gates of heaven. :) |
 | Added new pics. :) Thanks for sharing, everyone. You all make me cry with your kind words for Daddy. Indeed his life is a blessing, and it continues to be a blessing even now that he's not with us anymore. :) |
 | *teardrops with a smile*
He will always be a big part of my heart's "leap of faith" :)
smile palang nakaka-bless na :)
how can we not miss him...

 I lost it on these lines when I first read it -- I was crying like crazy! (And I didn't get to reply right away na because before I knew it, I was too busy trying to stop crying to type a comment or two).
Thank you, Karlo. We don't know each other that well (aside from those stories from Camz, alam mo naman si switart mo, hehe) and you didn't know my Dad at all, but this poem has captured what the album (or at least my thoughts on this particular picture) is all about. Thank you. Really appreciate it. :) |
| ang sarap nyang tumawa. :) |

Thank you. Really appreciate it. :) it's nice to hear that this one tugged a heartstring, even at the expense of you weeping, for, like a good life to your father, it gave way to this poem's purpose: not really to make you cry but to serve as a connective release. you can now burn this poem, and smile. :) |
 | Kakamis talaga si tito bob, a very caring pastor, counselor, and a friend... His entire life was dedicated to God and his love and care for the ministry was very remarkable.... miss you tito... |
 | i was here! i was here! i was here!... i was here! we had coffee and the egg tart from "something stow".. after dining at Dencio's... it was Tito Bob's treat :) actually, one of the many treats i had from him... i missed the joy of making one for him... all the more even now... |
