Man Visits His Wife’s Grave Every Day Without Fail
TRUE LOVE – A man has visited his late wife’s grave every single day—for 635 days and counting—without missing a single one.
It was a long day when Jemima Z. Enghog, while out for a jog, passed by a man sitting quietly under a gray sky. He was alone, facing a grave, softly singing a praise and worship song. That man was Esmeraldo Remonsada, and the grave belonged to his wife, who passed away in 2023. Since the day she died, he has visited her grave every day—without fail.
Whether it’s raining or sunny, tired or not, Tatay never misses a visit. He brings an umbrella when it rains and stays by her side until the cemetery lights are turned on. This, he said, was his promise to her: “Dili tika biyaan”—I will never leave you.
His wife suffered from a rare condition—one in a thousand, he shared—but even rarer is the kind of love Tatay still holds for her. He sings worship songs to her every day, keeping her memory alive through music and prayer.
Jemima’s post reflects on the deeper meaning of Tatay’s devotion in a world where love often feels fleeting. In an age of broken promises and short-lived emotions, Tatay serves as a quiet reminder that real love endures—even in silence, even in grief, even when there are no more words to exchange.
Jemima wrote, “May we all find someone like Tatay, whose love is rare, sacred, and eternal. Not just in life, but even after death.” Many netizens have expressed their admiration for Tatay Esmeraldo, calling him living proof that true love and forever still exist. And in a lighthearted note, Jemima added: If your partner isn’t like Tatay, maybe don’t get married yet!
