Remembering Dad Poem by Eden Orbista

Remebering my Dad, as a child my birthdays and my sibling's too, were celebrated with love and fun filled entertainments. We invited our classmates and friends, we shared merry moments while we dig into the sumptuous meals Tatay prepared. And he'd never forget to play his guitar of beautiful Spanish acoustic melodies.I remembered him dishing up a menu as he taught me the details how to. I took from him my love for cooking. When there was a typhoon, Tatay would let us stay in one safe place of the house, while the heavy rains and strong winds hovered around the whole place, he would cook for us. Ummm, the smell of spaghetti for snacks and pork humba with rice deliciously served hot at dinner, ........ How can I forget?
