Five Years With You

My Everdearest R,

How time flies. It's been five years. Five wonderful years with you. Before I had you, Papa and I were resigned to the fact that we might not have children. Given this, I wouldn't be able to describe the feelings I had when the pregnancy test gave us two clear lines. I know you were destined to be ours, as much as it was your destiny to have us. I thank the Lord for sending an angel to us. Thank you for all the joys you have brought into our lives. The many hugs, kisses and i love yous would never have a price tag. You're a good kid... always brings us pasalubongs, creates paintings of us, writes letters of your love. We hope to guide you to be the best person that you can be and we wish that you'll grow up believing that everything you set your heart and mind to is possible.



I also would like to tell you that I'm very grateful that you are S's Ate because you're every bit an Ate to her. And you loved her, from the moment you found out about her.

I hope that when the time comes that you understand whatever it is I've written here, you've already realized how much you're loved.

Mahal na mahal, R. All the happiness in the world... Happy 5th birthday.


Loving you always,
Mama
