A father’s last surprise to his daughter
CAR TRUNK SURPRISE – The story of a father’s last surprise to his daughter went viral and touched the hearts of netizens.
On March 27, a man named Pidot and his wife, Daisy, booked a car trunk surprise for their daughter, Trexia, who turned 17 on April 14. Pidot was very excited about the surprise and he didn’t miss a day to follow up with the person in charge (Ymer Gallejos) of the surprise, making sure that everything was going well. He was determined to make his daughter happy.
When the day of the surprise came, Pidot called Gallejos, informing him that he couldn’t be there because of work. However, to everyone’s surprise, he was actually there when they executed the surprise. His daughter was very happy and even cried. Despite having work that day, Pidot stayed to witness his daughter’s happiness.
However, on the afternoon of April 17, Gallejos received a sad news that Pidot had passed away due to a heart attack while at work in construction. Gallejos was reminded of the car trunk surprise and the picture he had planned to post that day. According to him, Pidot was such a great father and he deserved to be recognized for his love and sacrifice.
The local community also remembered him for his service as a conductor of the Tres Rosas jeepney, especially when he did not charge his passengers or students for their fare.
Here’s the post:
“A FATHER’S LAST SURPRISE TO HIS DAUGHTER.
I’m mixed-up if I will post it or not. But I decided to post it for everybody to realize something and reflect.
On March 27, Kuya Pidot (Right in red shirt) and his wife ate Daisy, booked a car trunk surprise to us (Ohrganza) for their daughter Trexia (left) who is turning 17 on April 14. From the time it was booked to us. Kuya Pidot didn’t missed a day to follow it-up to me up to the time of its delivery. He would call/chat/videocall me in the morning and at night to make sure that everything is okey. He would say:
“Mer surpise yan hah. First time kasi yan. Gusto ko masupresa yung anak ko.”
I felt the eagerness in him to make her daughter happy. I felt a love that is so pure and great.
On April 14 (day of delivery), he called me, informing me that he can’t be there because he’s at work. But to my surprise, when we delivered it, he’s actually there. Far excited than his daughter.
When we executed the surprise, his daughter was so happy and even cried. And when I looked at Kuya Pidot, I saw him teary-eyed. There, I saw so much love for her daughter.
Though he has work that day, he cant afford to leave and he just stayed.
This afternoon at around 11:00 AM, I received a bad news that Kuya Pidot passed away. Presumably due to heart attack in the midst of his work in the construction.
I was saddened. Quickly, I remember our car trunk surpise which I plan to post the picture today, this afternoon.
Kuya Pidot, you’re such a great father. Salute!
Salamat sa iyong serbisyo sa kumonidad kasama ang TRES ROSAS ni kuya MONTE bilang konduktor. In behalf ng lahat ng pasahero at estudyante na hindi mo sinisingil ng pamasahe noon kapg sasakay ng Jeep, kasama na ako. Gayundin ang mga padala na di na siningil, mga padalang allowance ng estudyante at mga gulay at bagoong. Maraming salamat. Hindi ka namin makakalimutan. You are part of lives. Bahagi ka kung nasaan ka man ngayon. Isa ka sa mga mahahalgang tao sa komunidad.
We will surely miss you”
