KC Concepcion on Gabby Concepcion: "Although I lost him once, he came back and stayed"
TV personality KC Concepcion wrote a touching tribute to her dad, Gabby Concepcion, to commemorate Father's Day with the rest of the world.
KC posted a photo of herself and Gabby in Anilao, Batangas taken from a few decades ago showing their bond as father and daughter with the message, “Happy Father's Day, Papa @concepciongabby.
“Our long 3-hour talks over the phone are so special. He always keeps in touch and checks up on me and likes to spend time even when we are apart.
"I love all our Thai or Japanese dinners, or our kayak dates in the middle of the sea. We have always bonded over the ocean and telling stories over good fresh seafood.”
The 35-year-old actress and singer described her dad as her “good friend," saying “The past may not have been ideal nor perfect but what counts is what we do to make up for the lost time today and in the future.
“We laugh about his YouTube vlogs, he gets passionate about brainstorming for mine (The KC Diaries), he constantly encourages me to work hard and believe in myself.
“When I am heartbroken, he says, 'As time stretches, people change. You will see the true character of the people around you and who will stay in your life as time stretches'.
“He's right. And I'm glad that although I lost him once, he came back to my life and stayed.”
In the comments section, Gabby kept it short and sweet by saying he loves KC, prompting his daughter to reply, “I love you 3x a day.”
