You are dearly missed.

Faye, this is simply…panoramic, a review of all the years since 1962. Thanks for this tribute to Den, who always had all of you in mind even, or esp., when he was away, and eating good food or otherwise having pleasant experiences. He would always say that he wished he were sharing them with us. Esp. nowadays, when I see young fathers buying toys, dresses and food for their young children, or just simply strolling through the mall with their young children in their arms, I get nostalgic for those early days.
On this special and poignant day, even when he’s not around anymore, let’s just think that he lives on in all of you. Happy Father’s Day to Den!
Happy Father’s Day too to my own beloved father, Judge & Dean Manuel Tolentino Panganiban (1913-2001), seen here in one of the family photos, who is one of the best fathers I know–kindly, gentle, supportive, generous, the ‘wind beneath my wings’.
