Happy birthday, Mommy!

 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!
