My Dad loved to sing. And I mean he really loooooved to sing! He would sing to my Mom when he came home from work, he would sing at home, he would sing in the kitchen, in the living room, in our bedrooms, and even outside. He would even make up a song that didn’t make any sense, but these songs had my dad’s love and warmth written all over them. And he didn’t care if people would hear and notice him. He was more concerned that we heard him.
A song I remember that my Dad always sang to my Mom is “Dahil Sa Iyo” translated to English “Because of You.” A Filipino love song very recognized by most Filipinos. I still clearly remember growing up that my Dad always cared for my Mom. One way I remember this is that we would get in so much trouble when we gave my Mom a hard time. That show “Wait Till Your Father Gets Home” comes to mind ;-D
And other ways he would show it was by always singing to my Mom, showing affection by hugging her and kissing her, even in front of us! I remember getting all yucked out about it back then, but loving it so much when I got older.
So, I dedicate this song to my Dad as I know he most likely was ready to sing this song to my Mom this Saturday on Valentine’s Day if he were still alive. And he would sing it even if it was not Valentine’s Day. Regardless, we continue to hear him sing this song as we will forever hear and feel it in our hearts.
We love you and miss you so much Dad! ❤
