User:Clarice.tiongson/Rafaelito Tiongson Jr. and III (Father and son)

New article name is about a father and son who happened to be my family who past away and now in heaven with the Lord, I just want them to know even in their second life they are always in my heart and memories are really unforgettable and a lot of people for sure will be inspired with their story.

Rafaelito Garcia Tiongson III was born as a "Blue Baby" who happened to have only two veins connected in his heart which supposedly four veins for us with normal health. He survived for almost 16 years which doctor's had estimated his life for 8 years which is the most. God had given us a chance to live with him for 16 years, but although it was given, we witnessed how he fought from his ill. I know how my dad Rafaelito Narvasa Tiongson Jr. cried like a river that he knew the fact that one day God will pull him away from us, and it happened. There is a lot to mention about good deeds of our brother Rafaelito "Tergie" Garcia Tiongson III, He will remain alive in our hearts especially mine, he, who happened to be an avid fan of Ernie "The walking encyclopedia" Baron, how he wished to have the same brain with late Baron. Since we were kids we always tell each other what are we going to be when we grow up, we always sleep together alone, waiting for our dad from work sometimes from some occassions. Our major wish is to see our mother Marilyn Garcia who used to work in Japan since 1982. We slept in one room, one bed, we ate together as if all I have is Him, it is not normal if I didn't see him in a day. We play, giggle, study together, do the chores without noticing that he is sick. As days rolls by, he is getting weaker, it is unusual for me, he was always being sent to a doctor, he needs full rest, being admitted in a hospital too, and I was left alone thought of how my brother was. Until God decided to give him a peaceful rest, he died April 3, 1993 at Philippine Heart Center for heart attack. Painful for us especially for my dad, it was my first time to see his tears. Now that I am a mother of two sons Rammne Nicholas Garcia Tiongson and Roicarlo Garcia Tiongson, I know how painful to see a sick child what more to lost his life. I am just happy now for my brother, that God given him a chance to see how the land, a chance to meet me, and I hope he is happy with the things I had done for him and how I took care of him. I still remember how we sing our hymn with our almamater Ste. Anne de Beaupre " As we raise our banner in the sky ".

A very down to earth Rafaelito "Boy" Narvasa Tiongson Jr. who stood both our father and a mother. A typical father who's show off with his father touch but could feel emotionally. He is a civil engineer who graduated in Adamson University. He is a nephew of former chief justice Andres Narvasa. He was married with Frances Samonte and had 3 daughters Carina, Cristina and Candice Samonte Tiongson. He had his second family with Marilyn Garcia with two children "Tergie" and Clarice Cecilia "Carl" Garcia Tiongson a customer sales representative in a callcenter office. He had his third family with Emy Galzote with a son Rafaelito "Raph" Galzote Tiongson IV. You will never miss a day without seeing "Boy" smiling and laughing, we called him like "Dolphy" because he use to tell jokes and alliases to a lot of people he knew without being offended. He used to be so generous with his peers and never asked anything in return. He worked and built almost 20% branches of citibank. We witnessed how his mood and energy changed when he lost my brother "Tergie", he kept discreet with his emotions which I think what made his emotional stress worse, until he was admitted with some complications in his liver and that is due to alcohol. He was sent a lot of times at St. Luke's hospital, and sadly to think that he is getting worst, he continued drinking alcohol secretly, he just use to take a nap almost the whole day, sometimes you could see him something like doing a day dreaming, I'm happy seeing him sometimes he took care of my eldest son "Ram" which somehow relief his stress. He suffered from liver cirosis, we never seen him complained nor any facial reaction that he is in pain. He confide with a priest in the hospital, how I wish I heard everything what's on his mind and what made him stressed. I pour my love and I took care of him, but still, God took him away from us January 7 2000, by that time it was so painful. As i get matured I understand that he really needs to take a rest instead of continuing feeling the pain, but it really hurts still until now. I never experienced that he scolded me, that he got disappointed at me, he acccept everything considering the fact that he kept discreet that I lived in with my x boyfriend whose the father of my eldest at the age of 15.

I witnessed everything, your joy, your sorrow, your achievements, you fun, your challenges, your secrets, what makes you happy and what makes you hurt. I know few years from now we'll meet again, just need time to take care of my kids and prepare them in the future, I am sure that just like me if God will get me, my children will feel the loose forever.
