After coming back from 2 years and 3 months job as musician in Bahrain, Roberto Hernandez treated his 4-year-old daughter Karen to a trip at Manila Zoo with a giraffe as background. 25 years later, Karen found this photo as a unique Father's Day gift to his dad. HOW THOUGHTFUL! (Photo by Roberto Hernandez -- Taken by Flor Hernandez)
UNIQUE FATHER'S DAY 'GIFT'
OF A THOUGHTFUL DAUGHTER
KAREN Gennibeth Miranda Hernandez is just 2 years old when her dad Roberto went to Bahrain as musician at Khayam Taverna (Greek Restaurant) from Jan. 1987-April 1989.
When Roberto comes back, he treated Karen to a trip to Manila Zoo. One of the memorable photo taken there is the one above.
When Roberto worked as musician also in Palau in Feb. 04, 1992, he forgot already the whereabouts of their old photos including this one.
When Karen graduated high school in Palau at Mindzenty, she resumed studies (Nursing) in Philippines from 2004-2008. During those years, she discovered some old photos from a very old wooden box.
Instead of scanning, she just took shot at those photos with a camera so the quality is not as good as of those scanned.
She thought of an idea to send that photo as Father's Day gift to his dad and he likes it a lot and said to her, "I thought that photo is long gone."
When Karen is just 2 years old, she's already very thoughtful.
Roberto is working at that time at Sinugba Restaurant as pianist from 12noon-1:30pm (1:30pm-2pm is lunch time). At night, it's 7-9:30pm (9:30-10pm is dinner time).
His salary for the day is given every night (130.00 Php). He always put the money in his long sleeves polo shirt pocket and go home by bike, which is just half kilometer away.
When Karen sensed that her dad is home, she will shout "Papa! Papa!" while Roberto is climbing the stairs.
Roberto will carry and kiss her and Karen's hand will go directly to the shirt pocket to get the money and give it to her mom! THAT'S HOW THOUGHTFUL SHE IS!
Karen also has a practical comment to those who believe in the song "When You Wish Upon A Star", a song written in 1940 and the theme song from "Pinocchio"....
