It's 11:42 PM Manila Time.
Yep, I've greeted you over the phone, had a video call with you and the family earlier.
But before I lay down to sleep tonight, I went to the chapel,
and prayed.
I thanked Him for giving you to us.
I thanked Him for His endless blessings,
For giving you the strength and life, that until now you still possess
despite the illnesses and struggles.
I thanked Him for your smile, and your reassurance.
There are no words to describe how you are so wonderful.
Most of all, I thanked Him - because you had us molded to have the true faith,
in our younger years, and until now - that we're adults already.
You instilled in us the reverence and the importance of the true gift - our sacred calling,
in the church.
Thank you, Mother. You are simply beautiful.
I love you.
Here's a song - I want to dedicate to you on your special day.
Happy Birthday po.
