Kada gabii, especially when watching TV, I sit on the "handay-handayan" of my late father, that reclining chair with long arms. Usa kini ka kabilin sa akong amahan nga akong giampingan. Mao tingali nga usa pud sa akong paboritong kanta mao ni:

MY FATHER'S CHAIR
(Lyrics and Music by Rick Springfield)

My Father's Chair still standing there
All alone since the long night
Now it's three years on and I still feel
He'll come home, we'll be alright

So where's this healing time brings
I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far

And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared
We avoided My Father's Chair

I watch my family, we hold on
We are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down, all the while
And every child will share the long night

But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future
When I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
And take the strong

When the world turns sour
And I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there
I climb into My Father's Chair


This thread is dedicated to our respective fathers and grandfathers.

Kaniadtong bata pa ko, ga bantay ko sa akong manghud na na hospital kay gakalibanga.  Ning bisita ang akong apohan ug nagdala ug bag-ong tsinelas ug orange candies (kadto bitaw naka porma pod ug segmented oranges na mura'g jelly unya dredged with sugar.)  Tulog pa akong manghud pag abot sa akong Lolo unya molakaw na pod sya dayon.  Ang iyang tugon nako, na pagmata sa akong manghud, ihatag ijang dala aron daw madasig akong manghud.  Hangtud karon, makahinumdum ko adto busa kon mag bisita ko'g mga care homes or prisohan or orphanages, magda jud ko'g little something na akong binuhat aron bisan gamay makahatag ko'g kadasig sa sama niining mga tawoha. 

To give hope to the needy, sick, hopeless, homeless and the like is one lesson I learned from my Tatay Macar. 

Daghan pa sumpay sa sunod na pod...

My father taught me the basics of carpentry. Panday man gud to siya. There is a village in my hometown nga siya gyud ang nagpanday especially sa mga balay nga natukod in the 60s and 70s. Grade school pa gani ko makamao na ko mogamit og gabas, sepilya, tigib ug martilyo. As a result, I was the only one in my Grade 6 class nga naka 95% sa vocational education subject kay pamanday man kasagarang project namo kaniadto.

Ang kabilin sa ahong Amahan:  "Edukasyon ug kina-adman maoy ibilin ko kaninyo kay kini dili ma-ilog
                                                 ug lain" -  Got it as a working student with the moral support of my
                                                  late Father.

Ang pahimangno sa ahong Lola: "Ikaw utituron ka nga pagkadalaga, bantayi gajod ang imong kaputli
                                                  nga   wala  kay Oten nga mabali" -  Careful enough until I met the
                                                  man who gave me his Name.

Ang  pulong sa akong Mama:  "Imo akong gi-amoma, ug nasayod ako nga dili mo ako/kami
                                              pasagdan, hangyo ko kanimo ayaw hikawi ug tabang ang uban sa imong
                                              grasya ug kaayo." -  Though it is hard enough....am happy to do my best.

Ang tanyag  sa ahong magulang nga lalaki - " Tabangi kog bayad sa ahong utang, kahibalo ako nga dili
                                                                      ako balibaran. -  He ain`t heavy, he is my brother! ...and
                                                                      he makes me smiles all the time with his hugs and
                                                                      loving jokes.

Sorry, wrong description and pls.  don`t misunderstood my reell point towards your thread.  Never I announced and indicated myself that I  belong to this category.  Am just a simple, poor Filipina  "nga ang pislat nga ilong na-a sa tunga sa nawong."   Mao man to ang  silbing pahinumdom sa ahong Lola nga dili pataka ug tikang-kang  bisan unsa pa ka gwafo ang mopasalig nga  mangingiyotay.  So far, it was kept in mind ...di man mabali diay, mabawog ra man.  ;D

Wa gyud koy naabtanan nga Lolo usa ra ka Lola akong naabtan.Unya akong amahan dili pud taas among panag uban kay namatay man siya bata pa ko lung cancer kay hinabako. Maremember nako akong amahan ug makadungog ko anang kanta nga Lagkaw.Favorite niya nga kanta. Unya naa pud to siyay gibuhat nga lantay ambot buhi pa ba wa man pud ko manumbaling pag uli nako.Pero katong iyang lantay sa high school pa ko adto ko maghigda higda ma udto maghunahuna ug unsa kaha ug buhi pa siya. Nakuha ni nako akong pagka humurous sa iyaha kay mangomedya to siya dili mokatawa.

Kada hikay namo para mangaon sa among gamay nga pajag sa Southern Leyte maghinam hinam ko kay magpakatawa na pud si Papa.

Ang ijang mga lessons ipaagi ug mga pakatawa.

Ang pinaka gihatagan ug emphasis nija ang dili pagdagmal ug pagpasakit sa mga baje. Kay ang baje kono gikuha sa gusok sa laki mao nang dili pasakitan.

In relation to the first message of this thread, here's another song of the same title. Listen to this in youtube.


MY FATHER'S CHAIR
(Performed by David Meece)

Sometimes at night I'd lie awake
Longing inside for my father's embrace
Sometimes at night I'd wander downstairs
And pray he'd returned, but no one was there.
Oh, how I'd cry, a child all alone
Waiting for him to come home.

Chorus:
My father's chair, sat in an empty room
My father's chair, covered with sheets of gloom
My father's chair through all the years
And all the tears I cried in vain
No one was there in my father's chair.

Sometimes at night I sit all alone
Drifting asleep in a chair of my own
When sweet sleepy eyes peer down from the hall
Frightened by dreams they cannot recall
I hold them close, calming their fears
Praying they always will say,

Chorus:

My father's chair sits in a loving room
My father's chair, no matter what I do
My father's chair, through all the years
And all the tears I need not fear
Love's always there in my father's chair.

Sometimes at night I dream of a throne
Of my loving God, calling me home
And as I appear, He rises and smiles
And reaches with love to welcome His child
Never to cry, never to fear
In His arms, safe and secure.

Chorus:
My Father's chair sits in a royal room
My Father's chair holds glory beyond the tomb
My Father's chair, my God is there
And I am His eternal heir
Someday I'll share my Father's chair.
