Oh no, videos like this are my waterloo. Thank you to Pastor’s Kid for sending me the link. Like I always say, sad videos or movie scenes never really make me cry, like people breaking up or dying, but it’s the bittersweet stuff that gets the tear ducts all upset. I remember the few scenes that really made me cry as a younger person: when Whoopi Goldberg finally saw her son in “The Color Purple”, the ending of “Life Is Beautiful”, when Gryffindor was awarded the victory at the end of the first Harry Potter movie, and all animal death scenes in all animal movies. So this is hard to watch for me. I’ve seen the video maybe 5 times already throughout the day, but until now, as I write this, I haven’t been able to finish it because I’m getting lumps in my throat, and I’m not really in the mood for any drama today. Especially that kid at the 5:35 mark, it just killed me. But anyway, it’s a nice video to watch, even if we don’t have as much Pinoy dads deployed overseas, because anyone who ever had a father would appreciate these nice coming home scenes. Nice way to cap off the weekend. So happy for these families, even for those of us whose dads are never coming home.

hey chico, there’s no video. or is it my connection? anyway, i’ll skip this muna cos i’m in no mood for crying. i already cried during mass this morning & unlike you, mababaw ang luha ko.
i think it’s okay, because everyone seems to have watched it naman. hmm…maybe your connection nga?
aww. YOU POSTED THE VIDEO! haha. This video kurots my heart since I grew up seeing my Dad only once a year until my 7th birthday when he brought us with him somewhere in the middle east. I also had a hard time calling him DADDY coz Im not used to it. I would instead, spell the word like D-A-D-D-Y when I need something from him. hahaha! NAG-SHARE NA?????! hahaha.. More power to Morning Rush! Kisses to Delle. uhm, HUG na lang pala. haha! ❤
thanks again for sending the link! the video touched so many of the readers. good job. 🙂

wow, 10 years? thanks for staying with us after all these years! so grateful for that! 🙂
i miss my daddy everyday! and we are just manila-cavite apart… what more if he is one of those men?! thanks for sharing chico :0)
thanks for this chico. notice how they lay their heads on the shoulder when they hug? you can just feel the love.
thanks for posting this chico.. such a tear jerker!! i love seeing families
be reunited 🙂
yes, as if no need to keep up a strong front, you just collapse in the arms of the one you love…
Awww. You are awful, Chico. Making me cry in the middle of the day. And I’m hungry to boot!
This is really heartwarming if you have kids around you — children, nephews, nieces. Their faces never lie when you see their smiles. And when they missed you and you see them after a while, kahit 1 whole afternoon ka lang wala…haaay, nakakaalis ng pagod. =)
i make you cry because misery loves company! i cried like a baby din!
this was the second time i have watched the video and i still got lumps in my throat. my daddy ain’t no soldier in Iran, pero nasa Iran din sya – nasa-IRAN ng hininga (i hope you got the joke ü). seriously, this made me miss my dad. i would never be able to run to him again and hug him and kiss him. kakainggit yung mga kids sa video. 😦
my sentiments exactly. how i wish my dad would also surprise me. but not now, ha! kasi he’s dead na. if he surprises me, baka ma heart attack ako!
i have always wanted to tell you that i admire the way you put your thoughts in
writing. I found out this blog through a friend and I never stop passing it on
because it is very wonderful. you have your own way of touching our lives.
Thank you Chico for sharing your talent. I saw this video on FB and it made me
cry as well. I am here in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. and I have realized no matter how
imperfect my family, friends I still miss them and I still wish to be with them.
keep up the good work Chico! Kudos!
aw, thanks for the kind words! glad you enjoy the stuff i post here, it means a lot to me.
i was like, “good god man, get a hold of yourself!” but the tears just kept on coming… di kayang pigilan.
me too! me too!
Why do Americans keep pronouncing Iraq as “Eye-Rack”?
yup, same way they pronounce “eye-ran”.
Hindi ko kinaya. Had to pause to get something to wipe my tears with.XP
same here. it took multiple watchings before i could finish it. i didn’t want anyone to see how much of a mess i could be by just watching a video.
saw this video on youtube.. yeah, this one is really touching..
