Sharon Cuneta to late father Pablo Cuneta: 'I miss you so much.'
Although it has been years since Pablo Cuneta, the father of Megastar Sharon Cuneta, has passed away, the latter still couldn't help but feel emotional when celebrating his birthday every February 2nd.
On Instagram, the singer-actress posted throwback photos of herself with her father as she commemorates his natal day.
She said, “Happy Birthday in heaven, my dearest Daddy.
“I couldn't sleep last night. And before the sun came up, I whispered, 'Happy birthday, my Daddy. I miss you so much. I love you.' I know you heard me. I am still waiting for your hug. I am not afraid.”
According to the actress-singer, she would often wake up happily whenever she'd dream of her mom and that she wishes her dad could visit her often when he can--even just in her dreams.
“I dreamt of Mommy a few nights ago, and when I woke up, I was smiling and immediately told Kiko [Pangilinan, her husband] that you, Mommy, were with me again and we were in one of our favorite places to be, ever--a big airplane!
As if telling her mother, Elaine Gamboa, Sharon mentioned, “I dream of you so often, Mommy ko. I can still hear your and Daddy's voices!
“Please tell Dad to visit me in my dreams more often naman also. I love and miss you both so much.
“I would gladly exchange a few years of the time God has allotted for my life for the equal length of time to have you back and be with you both again...I will always love you and will never forget you.”
Turning to her dad, the 55-year-old singer said that her son Miguel would often remind her of him and that her only wish was that her children could've spent more time getting to know their grandfather.
She said, “Daddy, Miguel is so much like you.
“I tell him all the time that you would've loved him so much and been so fond of him had you still been with us and that he is just as crazy about cars as you were! You would've spent hours talking about nothing but cars.”
Sharon added, “I know you're proud of all my children. I always tell them about you and Mama!
“I wish they could've had time with you...they missed out on all your love. But they will know about you. Kiko and I will always make sure of that.
“I love you with all my heart.”
