To my superwoman,
The way
you love us is something I couldn’t trade for the world. I realized not
everyone is given to stay close and attached to their parents especially when
they’re far away. With you, you made us feel like you’re just on the next block,
or just around the corner. Your love for us never fails to reach us that’s why
despite the distance, we still managed to be this close as if the distance is
just a number and it didn’t matter enough. As your only daughter, you have no
idea how much it means to me how you managed to keep in touch, how you find
ways to make us feel that you remember us. I know you’re pressed between so
many workloads and busy schedules, but then again, giving us your time will
always be your priority. If you feel like you wanted to rest or recharge, that
would directly mean you wanted to talk to us. You made us your motivation to
survive another day and ready to face tomorrow’s challenges.
You’re so generous that despite having our own families,
you still flood us with questions on how you could help. We
acknowledge the way you wanted to show how much you care and you had
given enough. Still, you never limit and you always give what you are capable
of giving.
For now,
aside from wishing a very happy birthday, I also wish you to regain your
strength and always be healthy with God's help. You're not getting any younger and I know it’s
all new to you to have limited gestures and restrictions when it comes to the
heavy chores you were so used to doing. And now, as we continue our everyday lives,
I want this letter to give you the courage to combat what’s holding your
health back. I know you are made of a brave heart and you are able to make it
through. I know we still have more years to share and we will go on vacations,
visit places we’ve never been to.
I still
look forward to watching you grow old and you have your grandchildren surround
you waiting for you to read them stories or your experiences. It excites me to
think about that and that’s why you need to make sure you get to endure all
things needed for you to always be in good shape. I want to spend more years with you
and I still need your advice and your motherly guidance. I still look forward
to knowing more from you, and that I needed you more than I needed anyone else.
Stay
strong, Mommy. I know you are always bigger than
all those trials . Never get tired of fighting and never give up on God.
Cling to prayers. Cling to your hopes. I know we could make it. I am confident
that you could make it, Mommy.
Happy 63rd birthday! We love you so much! Thanks be to God!
