Nakasaad sa post ni Sachi: “About a year ago, my father was taken to jail for a crime he didn't commit. This felt like an affront to justice, made personal. How could evil men roam free and innocent men have their lives overturned just like that?
“It would've been easy to fall into a pit of bitterness and despair. Admittedly, there were times when I felt the jadedness grow inside me. No good deed goes unpunished, I'd think to myself.
“That said, dad remained strong, positive, and resilient through this whole ordeal. We knew he was facing the hardest challenge. We knew if anyone was struggling, it would be him.
"But not once did he let up. Even if there were moments he shared how tired he felt, he remained steadfast, somehow able to pluck faith out of this moment and choosing to see the best in others when weaker men would assume the worst.
“Patience. Kindness. Honesty. These are at the core of his character, and they came out stronger than ever. The light kept shining through when the situation would have so easily dimmed it.
“This week, he has finally been released. It was tempting, through all these months, to go on a tirade of why it's taken this long. Instead, I am overjoyed.
"From his example, this last year has changed me for the better. Small problems are just that, and they always pass.
“Suffering is never an excuse to become a horrible person to other people. And even when the world flings the worst of its judgment and lies your way, the only thing that matters is the truth — and those who matter most will know it.
“Today, we celebrate not out of surprise or wonder. We always knew. It was just a matter of time for the world to catch up. Forget ideas of posts of defiance. This is a post of honor and relief.
“May you all be so lucky to know someone like Richard Cepeda Go.
“Happy and excited to see you soon, fasha! And glad the whole fam is gonna be complete again.”
