Who is Papa Ben?

Tatay is finally home from Mexico! Arrived at the NAIA Airport on November 1, All Souls Day, 11 PM. How I wish I arrived earlier, and we could have spent the day with the rest of the family at Eternal Gardens, visiting Lolo Ben.

Who is Lolo Ben? Let me start by showing you his resume which I found in our home PC. Lolo Ben wrote this himself. November 1, 2009 is also your 7th month btw. I know you are still too young to read this, but let me write this down now and I will tell you more about him later. We can read this together when you are 7 years and 7 months old.

Lolo Ben was a great Dad. Tatay will always remember him.
