An...Mom, Joybs, the party here went very well too. And the food I made (which was definitely not even close to mom's cooking) was pretty good too =) I am super sure dad was at both parties (we know how much he loves to entertain!). I am also sure he was so happy to have so many people come celebrate with him =)<br /><br />Les, yes, it's been a year already. In this case, I'm not so sure time flew by. In my case, I was well aware of the 365 days that went by - and I definitely missed my dad every single day.Junarakasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571990732794809446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14663150.post-14449049913343680162010-05-16T17:40:52.308-07:002010-05-16T17:40:52.308-07:00hey dets, glad the celebration there went well!:) ...hey dets, glad the celebration there went well!:) I'm sure dad appreciated what you did for him too.

I know you have made papa ...Beautiful celebration!! I know you have made papa very happy. We too had a lovely celebration here at home. Starting with a Mass and a home cooked dinner that papa would have enjoyed followed after. About 50 or more Friends and families came and as everyone later told us, our part of town experienced a brownout. All around the neighborhood, electricity blinked and conked off. But in our area we had no such problem at all. I am sure papa had a hand in making sure that we had the lights and the aircon fully functioning. The celebration went full blast and everyone had a grand time. For the very very first time, the huge food preparation which I always do, was literally wiped out. It surprised all of us how a huge amount of food could have been consumed by us. I will show you pictures later. Remember how papa used to boast that after eating at home people could still bring home food. Unfortunately it could not be said this time. Wish all of you could have been here.momnoreply@blogger.com
