• 5 min. read
Father’s Day is a celebration of the men who have profoundly impacted our lives through their unwavering love and dedication. This year, we bring you the inspiring story of Eric Afable, a devoted father and husband who found his sanctuary at SMDC’s Grace Residences. His journey from the bustling metropolis of Dubai to the tranquil community of Grace Residences is a testament to the lengths a father will go to provide the best for his family.
Life & Love In A Foreign Land
Eric Afable’s story begins in his younger years when he ventured to Dubai, a city known for its towering skyscrapers and vibrant economy. From 2010 to 2020, Eric sought opportunities that would allow him to build a solid foundation for his future. His role as a Procurement Manager in Dubai provided him with invaluable experience and financial stability, but there was always a part of him that longed for home.
In 2016, Eric’s life took a beautiful turn when he married the love of his life in Dubai. Their union was a celebration of love and commitment, and two years later, in 2018, they welcomed their son into the world. The joy of becoming a father strengthened Eric’s resolve to provide the best life possible for his family.
There’s No Place Like Home
After a decade of working abroad, Eric made the courageous decision to return to the Philippines in 2020. With a wealth of experience and dreams of a brighter future, Eric returned home with his wife and young son, ready to build a new chapter of their lives.
In his quest to find a place to call home, Eric discovered SMDC’s Grace Residences. Initially, he saw the property as a potential investment for rent or staycations. However, as he explored the community and experienced the serene environment, he realized that this was the perfect place to raise a family. The lush greenery, the sense of community, and the array of amenities made Grace Residences an ideal choice.
For the past three years, Eric, his wife, and their now six-year-old son have been calling Grace Residences their home. Eric’s role as a Procurement Manager at the Asian Institute of Management keeps him busy, but he always makes time for his family. The evenings at Grace Residences are filled with laughter, play, and the simple joys of life. Whether it’s a stroll in the garden, a swim in the pool, or just enjoying the comfort of their home, every moment is cherished.
A Father’s Dedication
Eric’s journey is a beautiful example of a father’s dedication to his family. He worked tirelessly in a foreign land, returned home to build a life filled with love, and chose a place where his family could thrive. SMDC’s Grace Residences is not just a property; it’s a haven where dreams are nurtured and memories are made.
This Father’s Day, we honor Eric Afable and all the fathers who make extraordinary sacrifices for their families. Their journeys are filled with dreams, determination, and unwavering love. Eric’s transition from a bustling career in Dubai to building a nurturing home at Grace Residences reminds us that home is not just a place; it’s where the heart finds peace, love, and a true sense of belonging.
