As I was reading some of the replies, I got teary eyed . I miss my Papa so bad that i still dream about him

same here sis. there are only two souls in my life who understood me. papa was one. .. and there are things about my papa that i only learned from other pipol. ..and i miss him. he passed away and i was not able to tell him that i loved him.

ay ako man ni fellow onlie hehehe....close quarters...usmc

karon ra ko kabalo bro about my papa nga wala na sya. he kept many secrets.

tingali wa ko tudloi ni papa kay init daw ko ulo sa bata pa. i once ran the big bullies off my neighborhood wid a bolo when i was in grade 2.

my old man never taught me anything.....

because he is always away... abroad....

I've learned swimming on my own... by going to the pier... with my neighbors...

learned bicycle while borrowing the bike of our neighbors....

learned karate secretly through a neighbor...

learned boxing from neighbors still..

and many to mention...

siguro ang na manah lang naku niya... ang pagka music lover.... ug pagka joker I guess..

mao siguro wala ka tudlo-e bro.. because sa imong rage attitude.... siguro kung ge tudlo-an ka sauna bata paka... daghan na kaau kag contra... nag huwat siguro siya time ma mamature ka...

pila d.i edad nimu namatay imong papa?

Nic, mine is always away too... same line of work prolly?

Anyway, 80% of what I learn came from my older brother, 20% from experience but that was way back when I was younger.

I still keep 20% of what my brother taught me, 75% from experience and 5% from… never mind.

And yes, my brother taught me how to defend myself (not sure if I still remember martial arts though) and to swim in a “not so helpful way”. He never made it easy for me but I’m glad he didn’t.
