Rebecca: Enchantress of My Life

No other woman who had greatly influenced my whole life and everything I do, except this woman, Rebecca.

Rebecca Demabildo-Camporazo
In my teenage years, in my studies in high school and in college, in my work, in my Church activities, and most especially in my family well-being, this woman is indispensable.

Rebecca had enchanted me when I first met her in late 1968 somewhere in an open study hall of La Carlota City High School.

Rebecca captured my heart beyond expectation that every time I slept at night I couldn't take enough sleep. I kept on waking up hastening the time for a day break, for another day to see her again in school.

Becoming as One

Rebecca brought me to a vow which I couldn't resist even a penny I didn't have to spend for such momentous, special day in my life. Our parents understood us and the humble selected friend teachers of her father as well were too considerate of having no preparation.

We started a family of our own. Rebecca supported me all out in my first job as a bank employee for 5 years, as a Church custodian for 10 years, as a classroom teacher for 11 years, and as a school principal 11 years as of this writing.

Rebecca has fully advocated me in my decision to be baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-way Saints in 1980 in which she did also 2 months later.

Rebecca, 6 children and I took the final decision to perform an ordinance in the Manila Philippines Temple in September 1986. We do believe that our family could be together forever. Thus, we're sealed for time and eternity.

This Is Her Day

Rebecca is the woman who is always on the alert for bad times and good times. She is the best mother for her children. She is the best wife for me. She is the enchantress of my life. She is my spiritual partner in my life forever and ever.

Today is her 62nd birthday. And it is also my 62nd  birthday. We're both born on October 13, 1951. She is meant for me and I am meant for her too.

Rebing, her nickname, I have nothing to offer you in your birthday today, except my faithful, unfeigned love and care I have for you.

Happy birthday, Rebing! I love you!
