If I could define the past week in one word, it would be “condolences”.

I truly appreciate everyone’s sincerest apologies for what has happened. However, I believe there’s really nothing to be “sorry” about.

My father has passed away and he is free from all pain, suffering, and negativity.

He was 53 years old and cancer unfortunately had the upper hand.

During today’s mass held for my dad, the priest said this quote:

What you are I once was, what I am you will surely become.

I sat there for a very long time and thought about this phrase. hmm on second thought, I don’t think I’ll share my thoughts. I talk too much. I’ll just leave it up to you to make it your own..

Anyways, I’ll be leaving Bohol in a few days. I’m ready to breathe again.

This island will always be one of my homes. I know I will be leaving a piece of myself here with our memories.

UCCM (SCW) Ret. J.D.R
He was a master chief. He achieved something only 1% of all enlisted personnel rise to. He was the best of the best and he served our country for 30 years.

thanks, dad. You weren’t perfect but I am who I am because of you. You will forever live on through my past/present/future accomplishments, goals, and achievements.
