A father’s love raised to the power of two
IN A life that’s filled with wonder and awe, there are things- and events- that humans will never be able to grasp an answer for.
Call it unique, weird, bizarre, and in some cases a miracle, people-- if lucky-- will live to see something extraordinary that’s something worth telling.
In today’s article for Father’s Day, this father is nowhere near “ordinary.”
At the age of five, Pepard Bagares lost his sight due to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome which is a rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes.
“Naka-detect man sad ko nga ganahan siya nako, mao tung kami na dayon nadugay.”
“He’s a good father kay bisan man sa iyang disability, wala niya nakita iyang disability nga hindrance siya sa pag-provide namo og good education, food, and everything kung unsa ang responsibility sa usa ka Amahan. Wala siya nagkuwang namo,” Mary said.
“Kamo, di gyud mo pa wa og pagla-um kay ako wa man ko nawad-an og pagla-um bisag magul-anon ko. Kahibaw ko tanan disabled magul-anon gyud na but at least, maningkamot gyud ta. Kamo, kitang tanan duna man gyud tay talent. Tinuod man nang saad sa Ginoo nga kitang tanan naay talent. Ang problema lang nato, di ta ka-detect sa atong talent; paningkamoti ninyo nga ma-detect ninyo inyong talent.”
