Rustico Lucino Jr., A Beloved Son, A Cherished Uncle.
To my dearest Uncle,
My Engineer Uncle,
My Intelligent Uncle,
My Wise Uncle,
My Christian Uncle,
My Confident Uncle,
My Loving Uncle,
My God-fearing Uncle,
My Thinking Uncle,
My Uncle whose shares the same blood that courses through my veins,
I miss you. I terribly miss you.
I was meaning to write you a poem, a letter, a message, but have always put it off till now.
I miss you, I mourn you, I cry for you, and most of all, I pray for you.
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul, I know that you are at peace~ and are once and for all at HOME.
IN the Land that will never set,
IN the Kingdom that shall last for eternal ages,
IN the bosom of one that Loves in Totality,
IN the Hands of one who Forgives Imeasurably!
In my mind, I can see you now, with Mama Luz and Papa Titing.
I can see Mama Luz and Papa Titing dancing, salsa-ing, cha-chaing,
And in full smile.
My heart beats in joy in feeling this feeling.
I know it is testament to your joy that you are now in~ In the Kingdom of Heaven.
And for you, I can hear you singing "Wonderful Tonight"
Your handsome, beautiful voice...a voice of an angel...
I can hear your voice now.
I can see your bright and handsome smile!
I can see your wonderful bright brown eyes~~
And a smile that can fade any frown, can lighten any day.
Uncle,
I do miss you.
I am thinking of you.
You are, to me, more than your profession.
Yes, in life, you were an intelligent man.

Saudi-Arabia Based,
Giving and Caring for family,
God-Fearing.
But most of all~
I will always remember how you were kind to your family.
How you cared for Inday Baby Sophie Andrea~
That in your last hours, you were as kind as a child,
and a heart that accepted the RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST
In the Eucharist.
Proclaiming His Death and Rising till he comes again.
For your faith, has saved you.
You proclaimed with your lips that JESUS IS LORD!
And for your faith has SAVED You.
Until the day I see you again, Uncle,
I will usher prayers for you.
That the KIND RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST
Would deign to hear my simple and humble prayers.
Most of all, Uncle Bayoy...
Pray for me to the JUDGMENT SEAT OF JESUS CHRIST.
Your Family Loves You.
And Misses You.
WITH LOVE,
KISSES AND HUGS,
Your Nephew,
