Inalala ng aktres at director na si Bela Padilla ang kanyang yumaong ama at sa kanyang IG, ibinahagi ng aktres ang umano’y una at huling beses na nakita niyang umiyak ang British father niyang si Cornelius Gary Sullivan.
Ayon sa kanya, nangyari umano iyon more than four years ago noong inihatid siya nito sa airport.
“The first and last time I saw my dad cry was the last time he took me to the airport himself in 2019,” sabi ni Bela.
Nakipagtawanan pa nga raw ito sa mga Pinoy fans niya sa airport pero bigla na lang daw itong naiyak nang magpaalam na siya rito.
“[O]ne minute he was laughing while fellow Filipinos were taking photos with me at the check in counter and the next minute he was crying as I waved goodbye, entering security to go to my boarding gate,” sabi ng dalaga. “I guess we don’t really see our dads cry too much, do we?”
Iyon na rin daw ang huling pagkakataon na nakita at nakasama niya ito sa labas. Sa muli kasi nilang pagkikita ay nasa ospital na ito dahil sa sakit.
“The next time I visited, a few months after, he was very sick and was in hospital…I never saw him out anymore after that day. He was either at home or in a hospital room [Pleading face emoji],” malungkot na pagbabahagi niya.
Sumakabilang buhay ang ama ni Bela habang ito ay natutulog noong August 2023.
