Hey Thanks for the blog. Not sure if you knew my dad but I sure appreciate seeing his name in an internet site for Poets.
Cheers.

Hi Noel,
I am very sorry to hear about your dad, and hope you and your siblings especially are together, at least in spirit. The article says that you have lost both parents now, which makes you orphans, a psychological adjustment at any age. My cousins just went through this earlier this year, losing their mother, after losing their father last year. They said that as long as they stayed together, they were not orphans.
Is there a photo of him? I could not find one anywhere online.
Yours,
Rus
Hey Rus. I will send you a photo as soon as I scan the photo I have in mind.
Again, this is much appreciated. Yes the 14 siblings are intact. The foundation they set keeps us going.
I'm on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/jnzcarpio
