She wrote: “A pic I took of my dad when I visited him in Alaska years ago. I am scheduled to see him next week in California. I was going to show him Manu. Because it has been my habit to go out and see him for every milestone of my life: before my wedding, when I had my firstborn and now, with the second-born. I always wanted to show him the faithfulness of God in his life by the increase of his family.

But we didn’t make it. He already passed on August 6. It was uncharacteristic of him though as he always survived his complications so I was so surprised. So much so that even when my sister was telling me, “Wala na, hindi na umabot…” I still had to ask, “Eh wala na ba talaga?” I surely felt stupid after asking that. Someone just told me he is dead and I had to ask to recheck as though we could still bargain.”

Amid losing her dad, Rica remained positive and thanked everyone who sent their messages and prayers.

“Regardless of what I feel, at least Papa is now free from the pains and limitations of this life. This is so much better than him having to wait for us. .

Pop, rest in peace, in shalom, in wholeness, in life. Hoping you are fully restored in Jesus right now. ?

Thanks to all who are messaging and praying,” Rica wrote.
