Kean started: “This is the saddest day of my life. Dumating ang araw na pinakakinakatakutan ko. Ang bilis, nakakagulat pero alam kong (The day I most feared has come. It was so fast, so surprising, but I know) everything is written in heaven and everything is in God’s will.”

He continued: “I will miss you Dad! I’m sure the angels will take good care of you. I’m sure you’re in a peaceful place now! At alam kong magkikita din tayo diyan one day! (And I know we will see each other there one day!)

“Thanks for devoting your life to our family. For living an awesome life with us and for us. Dadalhin ko lahat ng natutunan ko sayo habangbuhay! Kasama ka sa lahat ng pangarap ko! (I will carry with me what you’ve taught me for the rest of my life! You are a part of all my hopes and dreams!)

“Mamimiss kita kakwentuhan, kaasaran, at kainuman! Mamimiss ko na yakapin at halikan ka! Yung tawa mo, yung boses mo… Lahat!! Lagi kang nasa puso ko!! (I will miss your stories, teasing, and drinking with you! I will miss hugging and kissing you! Your laughter, your voice… everything!! You are always in my heart!!) You will always be my idol and my inspiration!”

Kean then promised to take care of his family, now that his father is gone. “I love you so much Dad! I promise to take good care of mommy, and my brothers! Please always watch over us!

“We’ll be strong for you! Mahal na mahal ka namin daddy!! Maraming nagmamahal sayo at maraming kami na pinagdadasal ka.” (We love you very much, daddy!! So many people love you and are praying for you.)

Kean ended his post with a post script, advising his followers to value the time they have with their parents: “Life is too short. Kaya habang may oras pa tayo sa mundo, mahalin niyo ang mga magulang nyo (So while we still have time on Earch, love your parents). Peace!” – Rappler.com
