I'm so thankful that Paul and Dad got to know each other. I still remember when he told Paul, " I would like it if you called me Dad" So Paul said, Ok Dad.... Made me happy.

I just love this picture. It was a great Christmas and New Year. Ate Lian was here with us. We were so happy. It just takes me back everytime I look at this.

I don't remember this picture, but it made me so happy just looking at it!

Today would have been mom and dad's 48th year anniversary. I pray my mom finds comfort in their memories together. I played a song today from Elvis, Can't Help Falling In Love because when I listen to it I feel it tells my dad's story of how he fell in love with my mom when they first met.

Dad always has a glance for Patrik, how he loves his grandchildren he enjoys them tremendously. you can't describe the joy he has in his face each time he is surrounded by these little tots. we had joy rides all around the Valley, Unending stories about the 3 little boys Jonah Kami and Jonas while he showed me around that there are some places that look alike. notice well so you don't get lost. he taught me how to ride the bus. I love u Dad You always showed me the way.....

Dad here is writing on his daily journal. 

I don't want to lose anything from my memory,

all the statements spoken by you be it  a counsel suggestion joke stories you told.

I want to remember every bit of it , it gives me much joy when I hear your laughter.

Thank you for rearing us up closely knit.

Notice Dad's shadow in this picture, this made me think,

Dad the shadow of your strength, wisdom and compassion helps me go through circumstances...with assurance the best is yet to come.

I know you are up in heaven looking down and cheering me on.......... the rah rah's of my life as a parent  I got that from you Dad ! Thank you God, John Ryan Siron is my Daddy! 

MY Dad  The Handsome looking guy haha maybe that's why my Mom is a little bit crazy about my Dad . they are the most lovely couple I have ever met they are so in love with each other!

 Leanna and Jella at the commercial place in Pacita Complex Laguna, in 1996.

Leanna still a little bit shy here. Dad would always make some one feel at ease. He cut in at two girls while I was taking their picture, trying to steal some hugs from Leanna.

We were waiting for Uncle Boy to meet us and went to Lola Belen. Dad, endured the 2 hour traffic to Pacita @ the SLEX then, But Dad showed me that , It is not the journey but the company that U are with, Dad sang all the way. Cracked some jokes with my kids.

 My Dad and Mom

this was taken during JB's birthday. dad knew which restaurants to go to,

He always brought us to different restaurants and places. Back when I was small, I remember that we are one of the first to eat at newly opened restaurants.

My Dad the gourmet , the connoisseur, the greatest Dad of all!

My Dad mailed me this picture, he is with John Paul here,how he loves this boy, he told me that he want's to see Patrik grow up to be a teenager.he loves us all very much! thank u daddy

My first time in Balboa Park was with my Dad, He brought me and my daughter Jella at Balboa, I  may forget the beauty of the park, but can never forget the joy that touched my heart the warm embrace that my Dad left me with. Dad,  am sorry was not able to join you at the park when our family celebrated your birthday there, I know you know why, Jerica had an emergency that time. But  Dad, that was the celebration I mostly miss bec, we all know how you love going to the park.This time, each time we are the park any park we see you everywhere Dad!You are part of the beauty of the park. You are  our rainbow Dad.

This figure of a Grandfather and granchild was the boy's present to Dad for father's day.  It is now on my mantel, and Kami to this day stil says "that's Lolo and Kami."

My fondest memory of Dad - Dad and I were on the front of our Maginoo house just sitting, a homeless woman was walking by and Dad stopped her and invited her to sit with us.  She sat on the grass with me while Dad went in to get her food and stuff to eat.  She ate there and I think Dad gave her other things to take with her, like clothes.  My Dad is the reason why I stop to give anything I can to those on the side of the streets and EVERY SINGLE TIME I do this memory pops up in my head.  One time Jonah and I were getting Jack in the Box and we saw an old man that clearly needed help.  I drove away but was not feeling good about it, and then I realized I wanted Jonah to SEE me give the way I saw Dad.  I drove back around the shopping center and streets until we found him, and I had Jonah talk to him a bit and we gave him food and money.  He was a actually a really nice man and even told Jonah a quick story about his past life.  I pray that Jonah will remember me the same way I remember Dad - a most giving man to those in need.

I still remember our house boating trip!  Thank you, Dad for such great memories!

Love this picture of how Arya is looking at both Dad and Jonah being such a happy first time Dad.  Lolo loved Jonah so much and I'm so happy that though losing both Uncle Randy and Lolo at such a young age, Jonah has wonderful memories of being so loved by both of them. 

I honestly do not remember this day, but it's one of my favorite pictures now that I look at over and over because of Dad's hand on my arm.  I didn't even know it was there and when I look at it now I feel his touch on my arm.  When I feel the need to feel him with me I imagine this picture and his hand on my arm.

Dad always took us to so many family trips.  I don't know if it was during this picture, but I remember on a trip we were eating on Banana leaves right on the beach fresh grilled seafood and stuff.  Everytime I sat down to eat next to Dad I kept putting my hands right on the sand, and Dad kept telling me to go to the beach to wash my hands off, then I come back and do it over again!  He was getting so mad at me! 

As far as I can remember I always looked up to my dad. I remember it like it was yesterday, when I was a little girl first thing in the morning he would call for me in his joyous voice, "JB Leni........". I would come running into his arms and he would embrace me and I was so happy. I felt so loved and safe. 

This picture reminds me of that because I was scared in this ride and I felt safe in his arms.

I think this is the chicken place.  Dad always takes us out to eat.  That's why we all like eating out. 

Always dancing...

Dad was in some kind of motocross group.  He used to take the whole family to some hills and they ride their motorcycles.  Joseph even rode in an adult size one.  We picnic on top of the hill for lunch.  Here's dad giving me a ride down the hill.  I was scared but happy.  Thank you dad.
